As I Grew Older

It was a long time ago.I have almost

forgotten my dream.

But it was there then,In front of me,Bright like a sun--My dream.And then the wall

rose,Rose slowly,Slowly,Between me and my

dream.

Rose until it touched the sky--

The wall.Shadow.I am black.I lie down in the

shadow.No longer the light of

my dream before me,

Above me.Only the thick wall.Only the shadow.My hands!

My dark hands!Break through the

wall!Find my dream!Help me to shatter

this darkness,To smash this night,To break this shadowInto a thousand lights

of sun,Into a thousand

whirling dreamsOf sun!
