Have you dreamed yet today?

Have you dreamed yet today,
Of the mirrors on the sidewalk
Reflecting the same old path?
Have you dreamed yet today,
Of the splinters of glass
Shaping the earth in a ball?

No, not yet has time come to last
Longer than a day, that you may!
Isn't it enough to join in and laugh
When you know, there is no
Getting out of today?

Have you dreamed yet today,
Again I ask, of people screaming
Your name to keep silent?
Have you dreamed yet today,
Of the lake by the river, where you
Could embellish your voice without fear?

No, not yet is it time to run
Away from the cold evening's might.
Isn't it enough if you can breathe
A whiff of freedom, drenched
In the morning sunlight.

Have you dreamed yet today?
Of no day past yesterday,
Of no evening's but only day,
Of every path drowned in bushes
Cleared to give you a way.
Have you dreamed yet today?
