Chasing Nothing

I build castles in the sky
For the day when I believe
That they won't fall down when
It rains

I watch dandelion dust blowing
Away, let my thoughts bob
In bottles on the waves
'til they disappear in the horizon

I wait for the picture that will
Win back the words I lost to you
Sit like a trapped bird in an open cage
Wanting to fly again.

I chase fireflies and wish
For a dryer season
And I long for a day when my words
Don't fail me at all
