Scattered Words and Broken Phrases
I throw some words together; in
The air they float around
Until I choose where to begin
With images and sound.
I throw some dreams above my head
To see just how I feel
About them since I'm out of bed,
When dreams aren't quite as real.
I also throw some phrases to
The sky within my mind.
Though some are broken, they will do
And magic I might find!
