She stands on a solid stretch of land

Puddles and fragments of sky beneath her feet

Breathe in

Curls her fist around the moment.


Puddles and fragments of sky beneath her feet

Impatient wind echoing

Curls her fist around the moment

Don’t let go.


Impatient wind echoing

She has time

Don’t let go

Keeps her dreams in her pocket.


I have time

Candle is still burning

Keep my dreams in my pocket

A world lit by wishing stars and castles.


Candle is still burning

Breathe in

A world lit by wishing stars and castles

I stand on a solid stretch of land.
