A Dream
It is only in sleep, that I unleash my soul
Released in my dreams, where no one can know
Tumbling upward, note by note
A midnight song that is written for him
Into the dim of my reverie's whim
And only the night can measure the quake
Submerged by the light, as the morning sun breaks
It is only in sleep I can unleash all my tears
Held in the arms of the midnight sky
Briefly rocked by a cradle of stars
Where moon at my window can swaddle my trembles
Soothed by the hours, away from the day
Away from the morning that steals him away
And again and again, I will stand in the sun
While the world only sees a confident me
Spreading more sun, spending more me…
Spreading my wings, spreading me thin…..
Unleashed desire, I will scatter like seeds
A song from my heart, is the lute that I play
While pictures I'm dreaming will not go astray
Intact I must keep them my secret, someway
It is only while sleeping I am free with my words
Unleashed from all judgment, nor pride, or shame
Released to the night, my passion untamed
Revealing self doubt that was hidden away
From the whisper of sleep, I unleash all my charms
Tumbling upward, to the moon up above
I would rather be sleeping, and die in his arms
than to be wide awake, but to never know love
