Dial

I dreamed my perspective was on a dial

wired to spare me from my will

i saw my world so dimly lit i felt my heart fainting within

and i was relieved to find how freely

could set its hue

to the setting sun

to subdue the most immersive blue

and if i wake under a sky weighed down

by clouds of ashen gray

let me will the dial to turn and gild the air

with silver pearls of rain

i dreamed my perspective was on a dial

wired to spare me from this will

that saw my world so dimly lit i felt my heart fainting within

and i was relieved
