Awake

At times like this, I dream, Awake Its like no other, Beautiful, Magical, And dark Its like flying without your feet ever leaving the ground Or feeling like your running when your body is frozen underground There’s no hope, Just drops of tears, And the fear that follows Or do you ever wonder about the darkness found in the shadows that lurk in the night Its almost the same as the magic found in ones imagination But the feeling of absence over time, that will do something, anything and everything to ones soul The pitch blackness when I think about you Its like no other, Painful, Dreadful, And somehow, pleasant to the eye If the crown fits let it be All the jewels should be set free The tides of the water await for thee And again the light will shine one day And against the clock, fate will astray Its like the feeling of being a billion miles away Or may be, Just may be, Its everything and nothing of the unforeseen I sometimes dream, beyond the description of words Beyond the eye itself The pure imagination in ones mind And yes, I dreamt this, Awake
