Can you hear?

In the silence

the whispers at the back of minds

In the day and in the night

under the sun and under the moon

In the light and in shadow

of those unremembered and unseen

---

Can you hear?

Each murmur crooning whisper

each hidden silenced word

Words few would dare to imagine

of beings and worlds far beyond

Their voices born by wind and light

to whisper in far off ears

---

Can you hear?

They come in the silence

calling from another land

Carrying wonders only wishers would know

and only dreamers would believe

---

Can you hear?

The music no other has experienced

of instruments unknown

With beauty of an ethereal quality

and melodies that could carry one away

A dance meant for moonlight glades

of twirling and soaring

With feet that do not touch the ground

and nights that never end

---

Can you hear?

The whispers of the secret, the hidden

those of fairytale and myth

Carrying traces of childhood fantasies

of everything we once knew but lost as years went by

---

Can you hear?

The sorrow of the forgotten

the grief of the unmourned

Those we have abandoned

born of dreams we once held dear

---

Can you hear?

The hope the wind carries

of a second chance, a new birth, a promise

Searching for someone who would listen to the tales of old

just one dreamer who would believe

Who holds on to imagination

with eyes still open to fantasy

The one dreamer who will hear and remember

the one dreamer who believes and listens

One child to pick up where it was lost

and create a new dream

Can you hear?
