it was my dream



                                                                     On the banks of a river

                                                                       built my sand castle
                                                                      haughty as Camelot...
                                                                   the flood come and took it



                                                              I looked for an emerald meadow

                                                               where I erected my oak castle,
                                                             courageous as an elves fortress...
                                                          yet, a dragon burned it with his flames



                                                                     in the small town park,

                                                              patiently, I built a castle of cards,
                                                                     colored as a rainbow...
                                                          a wolf blew, blew, and knocked it down



                                                                       next to a basalt cliff,

                                                            persisted in building a stone castle,
                                                                       resistant as a faith...
                                                             but an earthquake did not forgive it



                                                                     closed my mind to life,

                                                              and in it, I raised a dream castle,
                                                         beautiful as dew drops in a yellow tulip...

                                                               finally, darkness stole my hope
