Paint a Streak Across the Sky

 

You can spin a wondrous tale

Thoughts come pouring down like hail

Your will is set; firmly to prevail

Hoist your anchor and let your ship set sail

 

Paint a streak across the sky

Have you ever wondered why

there are those who live and those who die

the answers held in the violet sky

 

You can dance a beautiful dance

Wonder how much of fate is happenstance

Care enough to make your stance

Perceive it all, at first glance


You can build sandcastles in the air

Tell the world you just don't care

Pretend you didn't see that glare,

Some think that life just isn't fair

 

Search for something you'll never find

And they say that love is blind

Love is ripe but for a season

Treasure is not in possessions, but reason
