Daydream

Unopened lies the gift forgotten in the pile,
unopened the dream of yesterday,
unopened the source of the headwaters of the Nile,
unopened the life that’s gone away.

The spark that failed to catch the driest tinder,
the coiled spring never loosed to its unwinding,
the best intentions burnt until a cinder,
the story lost or maybe never ending.
