Songbird

A wish is born.
But alas! The day is gone.
Did I wait too long?
To finally sing my song?
I hid it well, deep inside,
Where all the secret dreams reside,
Sheltering it from reality,
Polishing it to clarity.
It's ok. I'll wait another day,
To see sun's first golden ray.
With a missed heartbeat,
Bravely, I'll deliver this feat.
Tomorrow, I'll set my song free,
At a furtive count of three....
