Living In the Shadows (Of My Dream)

I see the oceans, vast expanse spread before me I see the beauty of a world brought before my place of existence Brushed through my mind like great waves of emotions Where white caps tip the tsunami of every thought Here in my place, I live Hidden deep within this mental sight I reside Living in the shadows of my dream Where a world of beautiful color Brings forth a universe of imaginations As I float within this existence I feel the soul of life Filling me with a magical comfort of unity A joy of one among many Held together by the beauty of all things created And as part of this shadow I am able to observe Unnoticed to see the real within all these imaginings A wondrous sight I behold before my eyes As I stare into this world of beauty Seeing the emotions flow within my mind Still the oceans spread before me with unremitting flow Vast as it is Conforming graciously to it’s boundaries where the land begins Or where the ocean ends Yet within this place of existence there is not the rule To begin or end for all is continuous in an ever flowing circle Waves to white caps Flowing in uniformed thoughts of beauty Though as I live Living in the shadows of my dream Beauty exists without the recognition of me I watch ignored by the wondrous thoughts that flow within my mind As all beauty conforms with one soul A loving harmony within itself Maybe the dream is real and the shadow is me Waiting for light to vanquish the shadows I have created To finally release the darkness in which I reside Watching the white caps crashing to the beauty of the rising sun.
