Dream Catcher
Dream Catcher
I take the dream catcher
I play with its strings
I turn it upside down
Let's see now what it brings.
I had seen the dream catcher
With faith for years so long
Now I look into it
To hear its delayed song.
I see only strings
And some feathers flying along
I tear each string apart
And put my face between the ring
The song which it never sang
I try for me to sing
I hum and rhyme and sing so fine
I see bubbles flying to me
I prick one and then another
Dancing and singing with glee.
Out of the bubbles come dreams so fine
Of many an autumn and spring
I see the torn strings
As mute as they had always been
As I be my dream catcher
To catch my dreams begin.
