off the cuff

*

*

the sun wanted to rise

and lighten your darkened skies

yet midnight was standing in the way

of the dawning of a new day

while you slept in ruffled bed

dreams of stars sparkling in your head

I walked the hallways of my life

debating the reasons for my strife

would it be that strange

for the dreams to come true

and life be rearranged

to watch the sunrise with you
