Dreams
I awoke from a dream
Where my life was a mess
It wasn't so pleasant
I have to confess.
It went something like this..
I was lost and alone
Trying to find my way back
But my legs were like stone
And my voice was unheard
Or was misunderstood
Every earnest 'help' word
Or skin-pinching, no good
The place was a town
So familiar and yet
Either people were zombies
Or a few I'd once met
Sometimes I would run
Being scared of my capture.
Another, in love
And re-living the rapture.
Now, fully awake
I will meditate this;
Whatever the landscape,
Or weird lonely Miss
I think I replay all the highs
And the lows
But what it all means..
No one really knows
But my future is held
In safe hands, I know this.
And my face is embraced
And my forehead is kissed
If I wake in a sweat
From this dream we call life
I can leave all the drama
And worries so rife
For the people I love
I would look back and ache
So I'll stay with them longer
And the most of them make
What if I appear
In the dreams of another?
I pray love and kindness
On them I will smother
So this is my goal;
Be extravagant, lovely.
And fill someone's dreams
So they think fondly of me.
As we greet each new day
And awake once again..
Know eternity beckons
But in dreams we remain
