Hope In Parting (Senryu)

Restless I lay here My mind on the yesterday, On the dreams I had, On the storms that rose To take my dreams away, like A flood. With no time For me to goodbye, My dreams floated into dreams Big sky: a haven, Where dreams birth again, Given wings like bird of prey, To live one more day. So dearest of dreams, See you in the sky, where dreams Are given new lives. Like beautiful birds You'll soar to lands far away, Your limit, your sight, You'll come near; closer With each flap of your new wing, You'll push beyond your Yesterday, into Tomorrow's vast and open Possibilities.
