Once You Were Wondrous

I was older when I first saw fireflies Lighting up reeds like the prayers left behind our eyes They glow and glow and glow Without apologizing It was then I started dreaming of marine life And all the possibilities if I could bend the light With auric gestures luminating tree lines The whispers drew We were the last sign They saw that night Wake up and tell me who you dreamed of I was your whale cry I was your lightning dove I know you're terrified But you'll never be without Once you were wondrous And now you have your doubts One day they promise the light in us will leave here Say things that will make me want to stay for the remainder Our effervescent thoughts on forever Last long enough for us To remember Wake up and tell me who you dreamed of I was your whale cry I was your lightning dove I know you're terrified But you'll never be without Once you were wondrous And now you have your doubts You were once a mountain hearted one Wake up and tell me who you dreamed of I was your whale cry I was your lightning dove I know you're terrified But you'll never be without Once you were wondrous And now you have your doubts
