repeated nightmare

enough to dream but not to see the dawn
what is desired may not awake the heart
to know that certain magic from the start

instead each of us fears that note of scorn
all of its weight will strike like a sharp dart
enough to dream but not to see the dawn

the rule has changed much since each child was born
and now it is a task to play each part
but smiling is the hardest sort of art
enough to dream but not to see the dawn
