11. Dreams shed

Look out from the windows of the mind
Watch the landscape changing as we go
Hope assuming shape becomes defined
And all about us dreams begin to flow

Still amongst the motion driving on
Into focus comes our deep desire
Engine of our heart please keep us strong
As dreams about us fire and inspire

What if they are torn from us
And one by one we give them up as lost
What if they are wrenched from us
And down into the pit they're tossed
The bravest ones are those keep themselves
Strong amidst the screaming and the scorn
Whose hope remains a soft sufficient light
Whose darkness holds a different dawn

We want the half a glass to be refilled
By the steward standing at our seat
Watching new born hope served to us chilled
Keep the dreams about us deep and sweet

Movement we believe is still our friend
Taking us from base to treasured gold
Finding cheer in not yet journey’s end
As nascent dreams triumph over old
