Shadows Of Our Dreams

Pine trees sprout at random from hills and plains.
Powerline poles and street lights line traffic roads.
Wave-eroded pillars lurch on sea shores.
Marble pillars march before temple halls.
We are the ancient shadows of our dreams
flickering as sunlight on swift-flowing streams.

Apple trees blossom in orchard grove rows.
Poles with street signs keep watch on every corner.
Stalagmites shimmer in vast sunless caves.
Mailboxes glisten in blue morning rain.
We are the ancient shadows of our dreams
flickering as sunlight on swift-flowing streams.

Hydrothermal vents spew chemical swirls.
Cement smokestacks on factories belch smoke.
Flocks of birds chirp in groves of sprawling trees.
Children gather in classrooms to learn knowledge.
We are the ancient shadows of our dreams
flickering as sunlight on swift-flowing streams.

Lizards and bats crawl on slimy cave walls.
Worshippers gather in temples to pray.
Herds of animals roam across broad plains.
Crowds of people swarm maze of city streets.
We are the ancient shadows of our dreams
flickering as sunlight on swift-flowing streams.
