Dream Sphere

박정현

I shall call you my dream sphere

your colors iridescent in a bubble, fearless

of all the obstacles we meet that try to kill us.

Well, I shall cling to you, racing through

your pinball-like optimism.

 

You should hold me long and dear

I know, because we’ve caused each other to drop freely

into this urgent joy unleashed by us so wisely.

And you can cling to me, I’m steering free

We helm this vessel raging.

 

Some people need a labeling, but that’s not me.

All I need is you to be whatever you see fit to be to me.

 

Catch me if you think I’m falling and I need some saving,

You be my hero, white knight, and all

Catch me if you think I’m falling and I need some saving

Cuz to surrender is to win, giving in to the rolling motion.

 

I shall call you my dream sphere

cuz when you’re near me, you cocoon me in a radiance

of an urgent joy, a buoy that sustains us.

You have awakened me, we are steering free

You helm this vessel raging.

 

Some people need a labeling, but that’s not me.

All I need is you to be whatever you see fit to be to me.

 

Catch me if you think I’m falling and I need some saving,

You be my hero, white knight, and all

Catch me if you think I’m falling and I need some saving

Cuz to surrender is to win, giving in to the rolling motion.

 

Catch me if you think I’m falling and I need some saving,

You be my hero, white knight, and all

Catch me if you think I’m falling and I need some saving

Cuz to surrender is to win, giving in to the rolling motion.
