 it was bound to overflow
 we will sail away
 in our little paper boat
begin afresh,a new dawn

 edelweiss ludic capture birdseed heart descendant
ashes curse lantern irrevocable gnash askance

descendant of the famous von trapps
maria ludic wished to break the curse
of family folk singing

writing had captured her imagination
she created an underground zine called the gnash
and refused  to sing edelweiss by lantern light
on a stage ever again
her heart was just not in it

when she declared
she would wear sack cloth and ashes
eat bird seed for breakfast every day
rather than be a part of the sound of music
her family looked askance and disowned her
the split was irrevocable
how do you solve a problem like maria?

Tchaikovsky - Serenade for Strings in C - Waltz

we dream of freedom
of flying like the seagulls
together across the oceans
that  separate us but can never
keep our hearts and minds apart

we all have dreams
which may never come true
but a small spark of optimism
a glimmer of hope is enough
to keep us dancing
