Dream Catcher

If you could frame an emotion for me
Which one would you choose?
The bright summer highs
Or the deep winter blues?
Or would you prefer to take a chance
Dance around with a butterfly net
And bottle up whatever you catch
Or how about this, better yet
Why don't you capture as many
Magical moments as you can find
And leave it up to me to choose
Exactly what's on my mind
That could be rather difficult
You see, no emotion is the same
What feels like unrequited love
Might to another be shame
What someone thinks is happiness
Might actually be far from truth
And contrary to popular belief
You can find experience in youth
Determination, motivation
Or an attempt to forget the world
Remember it's from blue skies
And sun, that thunderbolts are hurled
Inner strength and beauty
They can be often found
In real women, not supermodels
In homes the whole world round
So what are you going to catch
In today's bright sunshine light
Are we having carefree days
Or the tiny ants sad plight
Under a magnifying glass
You see all emotions can link
Just take a quiet moment
And allow yourself to think
And remember if you give me love
I'll take it with both hands
And lie tenderly in your arms
Amongst the shifting sands
