WISHES STORED
The apples were larger
Their colours were brighter
The Poui was pinker
And oh there goes a flower yellower
The Lady smiled a serene smile
And all was un-stirred for miles and miles
The cats meowed and stretched
Paws manicured and clipped
No I'm not a cat lover
I sought to tell her
So how did you get here she sighed
I might have automobile-d in I lied
Be this Egypt
Land of hieroglyphics
For someone had written on the wall
Just behind the Season of Fall
Be there love be there peace
Be there dreams but let them be sweet
For Cinderella you see, is a star
She shines in nighttime near and far
Holding wishes ever made
And they never ever fade
Though the fog of dawn
May sometimes let her yawn
