Forever I Dream

These times seem to be unspoken. 
The pain numbs me. 
Slowly, Slowly, I choose u not to awake me.
This you cannot see. Inside it kills me
Outside betrays. Can u relate?
Erase me as you backspace on those typed words.
I wonder if it would hurt? 
Soon I will be nothing but in the mist.
Sleep. Forever I dream.
I do not weep. If you want to find me. Try and seek.
But look hard, I’m not easy to find.
I lay in the meadows. I respond with the mind.
If you listen closely. You will hear my answers.
And if you don’t concentrate. You will only hear the waves.
So concentrate I will take you to my place.
Hear the cub’s growl
While they innocently play.
See when dawn turns to dusk.
Hear when those wolves hunt their prey.
Hear your hearts beat 
Feel your wet feet
As you walk through those damp leaves.
You smell peace. 
In the imagination of my mind. You will find the kind.
Now close your eyes. Feel me take your hand.
I will take you to paradise.
