Once Upon a Dream
Once upon a dream
A night teemed with gleam
Walking the tracks of unknown
Carrying the sorrow of being alone
But walls, nothing expecting
Wandering the alleys, detecting
In a hope, searching every place
To trace a face of any race
Where are all the others?
Fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers?
No exhale, generating a sound
To recall a missing, found
Disappointed of soil and dust
Quirk to stars with no trust
A world of wonder, the sight
Granting people wings of flight
Earthly speaking creatures all dumb
As the lips and tongues went numb
Three shining crescents over there
Equal in measure to a bear
Lightning earth, heaven, and the air
There is no similar in compare
Devine chariot of Selene
Treads on Nyx's dark screen
Competing with brightest sun seen
Waits for gates opening Queen
Once upon another dream
Short after the last I deem
No more alone, no more astray
A crowd side by side at the bay
Launching dozens of boats
And the air full of notes
Yet these messengers of longing
Loaded with void, departing
On the way back home
Not pick river to roam
Suspended in the air as dust
If it falls, it leads to bust
Betrayed by mirrors, folk flee
Invading ceilings with no key
