Me, Dreams, Reality
One bright night
In the Twilight of day
I awoken to a dream
With in a world of worlds
Not my self, but still the same
What was it? Never more
What year was it? Forgotten
One must be careful to not remember such imaginary things
The sky dose not turn
In this world in worlds
Me, myself, god and the devil make king
Make three
I can be anything I want to be
I stop the moon and the sun
Half of me in light
The other half dark
I sit up, my legs are gone
I rub my eyes with monkey palms
And when they open I have monkey paws
I’m climbing, swinging and jumping along
The branches of the tallest tree
Up,up,up and up I go
Till there is nothing but the sky
And a drawn out view of the horizon
I fall
Down,down,down and down I go
Through a rabbit hole
I’m not a monkey but a beast
Swimming to the depths of the sea
A man eater
With gills and rows upon rows of sharp teeth
The bottom is dark and cool
Something snaps my instincts
So I rush to the surface
And breach ocean waves
I gasp for breath over a sea of Prairie green grass
under prairie blue sky
My hooves dig into the earth
The plans stretch before me
The rhythmic earth in me
Pounding my hart to beat
As my hooves vibrates against soft sand
For Iam no longer a stallion of the plans
But a lion of the sea
My flippers dragging my body from white sand shores
Back to the sea
Colors explode like fire works
Corals, And schools of fish
Tranquil and mysteriously
The vast binary universe of the ocean blue
Stretches out before me
Taunting a game of hide and seek
I zip and zag
From Sid to front
And back to forth
Gliding and jumping
And
Spreading my wings
Warm damp air catches me
Coming cloud fingers through my hair
Up,up,up,up and up
I go
Till the world is a board game
boring games are no fun
So I turn to the sun, so close
The moon so soft
I flutter and flap and sing
Till my voice is horse
And once again I am me
Plan, boring always in my head
Dreaming of dreams me
How I wish I could be stair light
Zooming though space
Something special
Something free
Anything oh anything but me
I
Who dreams of milky ways and alien trains
Of foolish wishes and Dagon kisses
A spell to never grow up
For stories don’t tell children dragons that they exist
But
That they can be Slain
And the true tragedy
Is an adult who has forgotten how to play
In wonderland
Because the dream of children
Rot away in grown up brains
That will always keep them tethered to land
Oh how I wish you could all see
The child that hides
Inside me, inside you
Inside we
How
Oh how I wish
To never grow up
Like Peter Pan
And fly
And fly
And never land
For being told to grown up are the most devastating
Words for a child to understand
So I fight it
This rule that turns children into men
And that is why
I can be me
For I, in witch I mean me
Can almost remember what it felt like to be free
To not be tethered to a world of what adults think is not make-believe
So I must, I must
I must
Stay in my head
A dreamer of dreaming dream
Letting reality be clouded over by fantasy
For I just can’t grow up
There is so much I still believe
So much child wonder
As if I was wonka
Or Saint Nicholas
Perhaps even pixie dust
Happy thoughts
Let’s get lost in story books
And by story books
I mean history
The truth and I are one
Times the stars, time the moon
And divided by the sun
Let’s cupphone the offspring of man
Leave a message on their answering machine
That they are none
The child,them and I are one
I’ll never grow up
I will never land
I will never stop believing in things that make
Life magical
The world is not real
It’s the ignorance of when an adult
Is supposed to stop believing
And instead believes
That all children must grow up
It’s all made up
The last strands of childhood
Raped up into in world
That you can never forget, that you must land
And every year we are growing
Growing,growing and then we are dead
Iam growing
Growing, growing
Further and further out of childhood
Out of happy thoughts
We get derailed by dream cops
Sucked dry until
You forget the Bare Necessities
And how pigs fly
And that my friends
Is all children’s fate
But not I
No no I
For I and me
And us
And we
Will forever forget about my worries and your strife
For I do
I do
I do
I do
Believe in Fairies
And pixie dust
And dragons
With all my hart
Allowing my dreams to blaze free
So that I can be anything I want
Anything but me
Because being me
Means forgetting
And forgetting kills your dreams
So take my hand
A deep breath
Think happy thoughts
A bit of pixie dust
And take a leap of faith
Believe.
