Find that dreamer, the one who
held stars in their eyes
envisioned all the possibilities
stretched out in front of them
like limbs on a never-ending tree

Find that dreamer, the one who
was born with curious wonder
ready for their mission of light
on this planet, until they were consumed
by darkness eating the light.

Find that dreamer, the one who
spent hours listening to music
devouring all the books
knowing there was more out there -
just out of reach, like a fading, forgotten dream

Find that dreamer, the one who
was told there was no such thing
as magic, it was safer to assimilate
into a world of density
while stealing moments of unimaginable beauty

Find that dreamer, the one who
is looking for that tiny spark,
ready to ignite their fire,
and unbind self-imposed chains holding
in the limiting beliefs, keeping them safe(caged)
