Mythically silly

How playful must you be

to see an archer in the stars?

To watch the lights crawl in the sky

to give fearsome name to Mars?

The best dreams are all playful

and ask of us to grow

to add depth in a direction

that normally we wouldn't go

I like to think that painful dreams

can be replaced by good ones

where elements of horror

can be sung away by bold ones

And happiness and light

though seemingly naïve

are actually a source of hope:

an emotional reprieve

So dance with me, oh reader,

and believe that hope is real

for I believe if you can suffer

then you can smile and heal.
