Michael's Chronicles: I Ask Myself

A man who spends most of his life on the road has a lot to dream about, and my brother Michael dreams more than most.

I Ask Myself

 

I ask myself

Of what shall I dream tonight

Something fine, I hope

Something wondrous

Something impossible

 

Were I the Master

In charge of it all

A wand would I wave

Or perhaps a magical stick

 

Warming the place

Where people stand cold

Inspiring the bigot

To rethink his thoughts

 

Vanquishing darkness

In favor of light

Granting pain and despair

Their permanent adieu

 

But alas

I’m no one so powerful

Only one who dreams

Of better angels

 

Of what might I dream tonight?

Something wondrous or impossible?

Something fine, I hope…..

Something splendid and good

 

Of

What

Shall I

Dream tonight?
