A Daydream Goes To Sleep
I almost tripped on a breeze in the leaves
With fluttered thoughts my mind weaves
My heart is racing and I don’t know why
I look for peace, floating in the sky
But the sky is gray and still as a grave
So, I seek out some colors on the ground to save
Holding onto the stem of a single leaf
Brings focus with a simple kind of relief
Where does the time go on days like these?
My dreams skipped a beat, in the barren trees
Night comes earlier, now it’s time to rest
As a daydream goes to sleep like sun in the west
