In my dreams, I wake up looking at the stars,
Unable to know where my dreams end and the world starts
The curtain drip and falls, revealing an early morning summer glow
Whilst the sun peeps over the hill to say hello;
Memories hidden from the wonders in my dreams,
‘You look tired’, you say, where have you been?
I have been exploring the world, seeing it all
Eyes in awe, calm, the world still asleep
Oblivious to the lives lived, no need for counting sheep
Every life I’ve lived has amazed me in my sleep
Let me tell you, I whisper, let me show you all of it
Meetings in secret, hushed tones pressed to our lips,
Dancing with pirates and sailing on ships,
Befriending every species and every single life form,
Together, blazing high seas, fires and rainstorms
We fought the war together, saw it all together,
Saving countries, saving lives, dreams which are wild;
Climbing over mountains to peacefully watch the sunset,
Then flying over countries in my own private jet
Riding horseback, following path lead by the birds
While the cats eyes light up the path of the outside world
Clouds above us dreaming, as my eyes are barely blinking
Awake, morning appears just as my tea sits steaming
So I lie here still, reflecting on all of my wonderful dreams
Remembering each night which always follows from ‘goodnight’
So I gaze at the sky, face fixed in a beam
Leaving behind millions of ideas of who I could wake up to be
Because the best stories ever told are ones which aren’t real
And the most important words are those which allow us to feel,
And my favourite imaginary world appears as I sleep,
Because the best lives I live are the ones in my dream.
