Fireflies

I heard a melody in the rose 

I was a dreaming child 

Asleep beneath the apple tree 

Wandering amid wonders 

Then I was called foolish 

Carrying the book as I did 

Watching the waters 

Humming an unknown tune 

I dreamed about the lions 

And the colors of the seasons 

I saw the colors of the birds 

Red and blue and gray 

The full moon rose silently 

On summer nights 

With fireflies and destiny 

Sailing a purple velvet sea 

All my dreams came true 

The song of the rose 

Breathes within the poetry 

Of lion and bird and firefly
