The Dreamer's Dream

Switch 
on 
your 
listening 
ears
that 
I 
may 
narrate 
with 
tears
the 
experience 
of 
thousands 
years
just 
in 
the 
dreamland, 
with 
all 
fears

On 
a 
narrowbroad 
way 
I 
walked
To 
no 
one 
I 
talked
"This 
must 
be 
madness" 
I 
cautioned
Oh! 
a 
journey 
of 
experience 
I 
embarked

Alas! 
the 
dark 
narrowbroad 
way 
received
a 
visitor, 
fear 
my 
heart 
perceived
What 
herein 
am 
I 
to 
achieve?
A 
tournament 
am 
I 
to 
receive?

A 
turning 
by 
the 
left, 
down 
the 
road
I 
went
A 
turning 
by 
the 
right, 
down 
the 
road
I 
went
straight 
ahead 
I 
went
courage 
I 
rent

There 
where 
I 
couldn't 
rest
as 
the 
birds 
do 
in 
their 
nest
feeling 
like 
I've 
been 
put 
to 
test
Surely 
must 
I 
pass 
the 
test

Down 
the 
road 
a 
river 
I 
faced
My 
soul 
fear 
gripped, 
my 
mind 
raced
Dual 
voices 
in 
my 
ears 
sang 
duet
move 
on... 
          turn 
back...
                  move 
on... 
                            turn 
back...
confused 
state 
of 
mind
broken 
state 
of 
mind
On 
I 
went, 
forward 
I 
went
Oh! 
can 
you 
see 
what 
I 
saw?
a 
shinning 
bridge 
I 
saw
laid 
across 
the 
water
Oh! 
yes! 
a 
miracle
on 
it 
I 
crossed 
majestically
as 
a 
voice 
said 
to 
me
The 
Storm 
Is 
Over.
