As night time approaches and I lie abed br I wish for dreams to come into my head. br Dreams that will carry me far beyond br Regular occurrences to which I respond, br Dreams that resemble nothing I know, br Ones that never take me down low. br Sometimes I'm lucky and they do appear. br Some are soundless and in some I hear br The perfection we search for when we're awake. br Uninterrupted serenity br For which our minds ache. br Undivided unity br That nothing can break. br Unending patience br For however long it will take br To grasp it and recognize that br The dream is real. br It's not just something that you steal br At night for a few hours. br But an unending reality that is ours br To keep while awake br And not just asleep.
