Dreamscape
I gaze upon sleep, my friend, my foe;
A chance to start anew, refresh spirit and mind.
Ask ultimate forgiveness, strength to make amends
For all promises, made and not kept.
A chance to experience pure, complete fantasy,
Be a god, know future, and dictate what is.
Be a judge, punish and reward,
Be a vagabond of time, change the stone past.
Observe heartbreak from a distance, heal and mend,
My closest friend, relieve my pain of the day!
Comfort me with your fulfilling peace.
Lull my shattered heart back to one.
Two-faced enemy, you choke my soul.
My deepest fears have manifested with vengeance.
I peer through the cloudy window only to scream,
As those happenings I dread, take cruel shape.
Memories are made, like pictures glued into place.
I mourn as time passes, they crumble and fade.
The origins of dreams are desires of the heart.
Teachers of self, desires known and unknown.
