I draw a line towards the sun
But, somehow, come up short,
As if I’m in the skin of one
Who spurns the last resort;
Or else I’m simply too afraid
To take the final leap,
So, having set foot in the glade,
I’m overcome by sleep
And dream I’m holding in my arms
A woman made of cloud,
Who tucks away her worldly charms
Beneath her floral shroud,
But, when the light of morning breaks,
She treads the path which freedom takes.
