A Fairy Tale in Spare Time

Because the sky is so blue
because the town is so clear
I take a deep breath and look
noticing my hair has grown a little
I think of kindness towards the dream still continuing

Even a favourite song
if it is new to you
I send with the light that first burst inside me
as someone once gave it to me

Not knowing what love is
a child playing in the park discovers the world's secrets
I want to protect that brilliance

Smiling innocently
for example, yes
if he is coming someday, now would be good
shall we set off together on a journey to find Santa Claus

Before long we will find so many treasures
wrap up so many stories to bring home
travel here and there
and one day
tuck our grown hair under hats
proudly and gently stroke our grown beards
and deliver them to a world like our own child, with a smile

This is one of many single things
a story told by me, who loves your smile
one born in the spare time when you returned to your dreams

Looking for words to invite you
if you like, with our favourite songs in our hearts
shall we set off together
I was looking out of the window
on a clear winter morning

Thank you for reading again today. If I could say it as though singing gently, perhaps I, too, could find the secrets of the world.
