The Future is Only Half-Full

Nothing to say

So far away

My dream is only half-full

*

I could reach for the stars

Feel like I’m on Mars

Heavenly bodies

Look down from their castle

*

Here comes the moon

in the afternoon

When my better half shines

There’s no hassle

*

Why wait for the night

To show precious light?

The rest of the dream is

already tangible

**

Something to say?

Fire away

My tank is only half-full

*

We won’t break down in cars

Or end up with scars

Protecting our bodies

By making

a fast call

*

Here comes the flag soon

Our motor has zoom

Our words don’t cross the line

Until we get past all

*

When our fuel ignites

We speed out of sight

The rest of the dream

is purely mechanical

**

I am quick to jump in

Watch my world spin

I am completely awake

But my dreams are not fake

They stay real

like the sun and moon

When the sky changes

My mind rearranges

And I come up with

a brand new tune

**

Anything I say?

To make our day

My glass is at least half-full

*

I used to smoke cigars

Every night go to bars

Polluting my body

Staying out past last call

*

Here comes a full moon

With no silver spoon

Still stay cleaner and kind

Though it seems so mental

*

If the sound doesn’t seem tight

For reasons I fight

The rest of the dream

Is totally casual

**

I am ready to begin

Watch my world spin 

I surely have a vision

My dreams have precision

They last for me

like the sun and moon

When the sky changes

My mind goes through stages

And we’ll be sharing

the good life real soon

**

Whatever I say?

Let’s get underway

The future is only half-full
