What Happens When You Sleep

What happens when you sleep? When you dream of different worlds When You dream of being free When you roam on fantasy lands Which you think is reality But you know it’s not the truth The girl with a big smile is not you Life is different in the world of dream You see and touch and feel Your memories old and new Tangled with your imagination Twisted but still beautiful Your past connects with your future Creating an illusion with some deception and truth You know it never lasts Some moments of peaceful bliss Breaking at the crack of sunlight Forcing you to open your eyes And your mind try’s to forget what happened in your sleep
