Dream Life

  listen when it's raining as the water hits the ground and you'll hear a million secrets that are hidden in that sound the pitter patter raindrops  hold the whispered words inside of the people who have shared them with the velvet midnight sky the drops that pound the pavement spill out anger loud and harsh they're the words and thoughts of people who have cried out to the stars the rain that adds to oceans and their vast capacious flow  is the grief of people holding on  for fear of letting go the waters flooding cities overwhelming homes and towns are the silent words of suffering entrusted to the clouds and when the clouds are heavy, when our feelings fill the sky, when our thoughts are too oppressive then the Earth begins to cry so listen when it's raining if you're quiet then you'll hear all the secrets and emotions that are muffled by Earth's tears

                                                  Leave your worries by the shore line, And run your bare feet through the sand, Let the water be a soft bed, When you cannot bear to stand, Make friends with flying seagulls, And hold the sun up on your palm, Before you duck beneath the water, Where the world is mute and calm, Tell the fish all of your problems, As they all come swimming past, When your lungs are close to bursting, Swim above the waves and gasp, Let the water hold your sadness, And waste it right out to the sea, So like a message in bottle, All your worries are set free, And the sea might make you feel alone, But the world has troubles too, For how else do you suppose, That the ocean got so blue?
