A Dream

I didn't listen to a word you said,

I laid my head down & dreamt instead.


Please leave me now.

I need to sleep:

I need to dream.


I've seen what could have been.

I know a dream is nothing but a dream,

But it feels so real to me.


I stand here now before you

Telling you all that I have seen.

Nothing but a dying stream

Are those who see only what they want to see.


This world is full of untold secrets

Hidden from our eyes.

Who knows what truly lies in heavens skies.
