daydreaming again
taking a break
from schoolwork
and small squealing siblings
wishing for a mirror friend
someone like you
coming from somewhere to here
closing your eyes for a sec
there's a door before you
the future
heart-shaped calling out to you
walking through
imagining
your mystical twin
looking like you
slender with long black hair
and light brown skin
but wearing a dress unknown
clinging pearly grey sheath
with a silver drawstring at the waist
unadorned cool
in black ankle boots
while you're standing gaping
in washed-out denim and tee
shimmering summer young
like you yet ancient
stepping egyptian-like out
from a mural to real life
such a scintillating girl
her name should be Cleo you're thinking
she smiles and says
she's from heaven and her dress
is a starway
from far away
sliding down a slope of light
here comes Cleo to the rescue
gliding through air
like a teen mother ship
building a shelter of the mind
walking on a comet's tail
in ankle boots so cool
into humanity's group soul
here comes a pleiad
big sister pilot
in charge of the children of the world
you're standing wondering
at a girl like you
knowing you're the same
holding your head so high
walking tall on a comet's tail
