Dreams

Leaning over into my field of dreams

My mind is propelled into another world
Where the land is firm
My mind more sturdy
My vision seems unpaired

Tiptoeing across paving stones
Over the lake of my life
I'm prancing, gliding, floating, flying
Being chased by something new

The scent of freshness
The smell of flowers
Launching me into every new hour
Crossing terrains anew

I'm happy
I'm me
Jolly, jovial and free
Don't stir
Don't wake me please.

Happiness is rife

Happiness is rife

Even without pleasures in my life.

Drawing back is pushing forward, I know.

Yet it's easier to hold on

To what really should be gone,

Instead of dragging myself as I go.

A small sacrifice can't be hard,

Just like playing a card,

If it's an ace and a spade, then it's good.

So, I will make a new start,

But you too can be a part

Of something so special, because you should.

All the games that we played

Meant that we could have strayed

And denied what was real in our heads.

But we've seen the truth inside

And we will no longer hide any doubts or any dreads-

That this love might bring,

For I am sure you are my king

And somehow we will get through this.

To step alone you might fail,

But, together, we'll prevail;

There's love and it's in your kiss.
