Once Upon a Dream

Once upon a dream A night teemed with gleam Walking the tracks of unknown Carrying the sorrow of being alone But walls, nothing expecting Wandering the alleys, detecting In a hope, searching every place To trace a face of any race Where are all the others? Fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers? No exhale, generating a sound To recall a missing, found Disappointed of soil and dust Quirk to stars with no trust A world of wonder, the sight Granting people wings of flight Earthly speaking creatures all dumb As the lips and tongues went numb Three shining crescents over there Equal in measure to a bear Lightning earth, heaven, and the air There is no similar in compare Devine chariot of Selene Treads on Nyx's dark screen Competing with brightest sun seen Waits for gates opening Queen Once upon another dream Short after the last I deem No more alone, no more astray A crowd side by side at the bay Launching dozens of boats And the air full of notes Yet these messengers of longing Loaded with void, departing On the way back home Not pick river to roam Suspended in the air as dust If it falls, it leads to bust Betrayed by mirrors, folk flee Invading ceilings with no key
