Life is a Dream


Life is but a dream The clouds evaporate in moments The sun fades with no lasting beam Death takes those you love How do you know if it ever was? Is it a dream? What actually leaves applause? The moon darkens each night The wrist cut will heal Leaving no impression Nothing to feel What will last in the end? A fleeting second Life will pass No footprint to be beckoned For remembrance If it was real or just a dream
