Somewhere

Somewhere at the early dawn
Sparrows chirping on the lawn
And I’m lying in my bed
Halfway through the dream I had
Curtains flutter in the breeze
So are leaves of the elm trees
Scattered clouds of dirty white 
Run too fast to stop the sight
Come tomorrow or today
Take me back, and by the way
Tell me what the reason for
You’re not coming anymore..

Dreams can really distort our reality.
