The Dream

I had again been searching through the night,

my hope all but gone and still no end in sight.

with no clear vision of what to find,

I'd left my confidence long behind.

my troubled sleep saw the sun rise,

my dreams became a blessing in disguise.

I felt safe, my fear began to break,

I knew it was real but I was not awake.

you fell asleep and now you're mine.

I feel so helpless and so weak.

just let go and embrace your dream.

I've lost track of what I am.

you thought you had it all, but now all that has changed.

never again put up with a world that is so deranged.

leaving behind all that you had known before.

still confused, but you can feel that there is so much more.

I had felt so lost before,

my boat had somewhere run ashore.

I cried out into the night,

there was nothing that felt right.

I had given myself in,

and self-pity was my kin.

now I leave all that behind,

to re-emerge and live the dream.
