Play Pretend

"She wanders aimlessly, wondering if she can fall back to sleep.
What is this endless road I'm on, will I ever find my home.
I'm speechless because I'm lost at sea. 
Words escape me, as I swallow the leaves. 
The trees hold my mother when the storm rages on winds. 
I left in the evening when there were stars still in the sky. 
I wrapped my head in fine silks, and buried the sands. 
I wanted to know I'd made a difference so I hid my hands. 
I don't understand how I got here, but my heart likes to whisper. 
I call her a gossip, but she doesn't like to hide. 
The man with the boat has always been my friend. 
Sometimes he sends me wanderers with secrets. 
I like to play pretend, and close my eyes wide.
Golden heights glisten on your way back down. 

If I hit the ground running I would own the world."
