Writing lines for songs that’ll never be sung
braiding ropes for bells that can never be rung
Reading acts for a play that’ll never be seen
conjuring parts for artistes who never have been
Writing words for books that’ll never be read
whispering thoughts ‘bout love that already is dead
Hawking sorrys for hurts that can never be healed
open bitter old wounds that always unsealed
Blowing kisses at babes that can never be held
saving acorns for trees that already be felled
Hoarding money for treats that’ll never be bought
waiting hard for regrets that’ll never be thought
Sifting sand for a gold that’ll never be mined
hoping true for a peace that’ll never be find
Walking miles towards dreams that’ll always seem mist
longing soon to be more than merely exist .
