Hope deferred
is like a
lukewarm blanket
in the heart
dreams and desires fade
I call to the Dreamcatcher…
Dreamcatcher catch for me
tears of sadness I cry and
return to me laughter
Dreamcatcher catch for me
the misery and despair and
return to me joy
Dreamcatcher catch for me
this life mundane and
return to me extraordinary
Dreamcatcher catch for me
loneliness in this heart and
return to me a soulmate
Dreamcatcher catch for me
fire that burns within the Sun and
return to me a passionate hope
setting free the lukewarm blanket
never to be returned.

Proverbs 13:12 (AMP)
Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
But when desire is fulfilled, it is a tree of life.
