14.7.13

finally (you dreamers)

fly me to a place
far beyond the moon
where i can look back at the earth
and watch it turn

all the oceans blue
and all the deserts brown
and all the billion souls
but me and you

half the world in darkness
half the world asleep
the thin line of the sunrise
racing west across the deep
waters of night

finally you dreamers
dream yourselves to life

limn the streets with gold
turn your half-blind eyes
the brown and blue and billions
towards the east
and open wide.

finally you dreamers
dream yourselves to life.
