And Share your dreams with me
In my toybox full of magic,

My Mama bought a Heffalump
he's very very sweet

in search of thoughtful muse
sifted shifting meanings

The old one is so nearly done.

of your love for me.
I can't touch or see you

Oceans Pantoum
Captivated by the tide,

And my worries float away,

Amber glistens on the waves,
And my worries . . . more
