Sonnet 71, I’Ll Be Dreaming

I’ll be dreaming forever in my mind,
And wishing upon every blinking star;
Leaving all lonely memories well behind,
Because I’m going to reach out and far.
Sometimes I dreamt dreams that went to nowhere,
I started gazing though windows at night;
Looking at forgotten dreams here and there,
For I didn’t know they were lost in the twilight.
And when stars on heaven started their blinking,
I found emptiness inside me came along;
I noticed yesterdays and begun thinking,
That my life’s empty like a lonesome song.
But I stood up, for here’s a brand new day,
And my luck may turn yet, and come this way.
