The Dream

The sun bursts off at dawn while the birds still sleep,
From a dream, I leap.

From out of the nightmare I refreshed myself,
In it, I was an elf.

I was not an assistant to Santa Claus,
An actor I was.

I washed my face and made a cup of coffee,
From the dream I was free.

The sun bursts off at dawn while the birds still sleep,
Waking up I a heap.
To laugh not to weep.
