    tell me the secret of dreaming -
    i need to know the way
    to wish on stars that fall, and those that
    don't, assisting in the making of a tomorrow laced
    with wonder.

    stud the sky
    with folded cranes on wire
    and origami dreams strung up like beads;
    when the night creeps up
    and i can't breathe,
    tell me it's okay to believe
    in wishes that can be folded
    as easily as paper.

    remind me of how daylight
    comes even if our star-peppered eyes
    don't close to hide it's
    light; we will not stop to count our
    sheep, but rather wonders
    found in waking.

    lace the sunset
    with your silhouette;
    i am a paper boat folded by finicky hands
    cast into deep waters
    trying to cut a path for pleasant dreams--

    and because i cannot rest my eyes
    to find solace in silence,
    i ask you only to
    dream me something beautiful.
long time no see, right? i've been pretty busy lately, what with teachers and 'fun projects' inhibiting the ability to sit down and do nothing but stare at a computer in which to type in words. i can't promise anything else to come soon, but maybe i'll have some time, what with the holiday weekend coming up. c:

Anyway, this piece was a collaboration between the lovely TwilightPoetess and i, and it was so much fun to do! i hope you guys enjoy it. <3
