A Strange Dream


...My strange reality ...Starts out the same ...With a strange dream. Sunlight glistens through the windows the shadows hide behind the corners Into walls to hide away from the onslaught of the day Rising up, the feeling remains it's all so different, but just the same, Walking down from a floating plain fifteen steps to the ground below. A simple sweet square and out the door, into the cave dark and shadowed The beast that sleeps within this place awakened with the turning of a silver piece A key to follow his master's command... A gathering is taking place at areas around the globe. The arteries of this fine place throb with every green glow A simple day, a simple task, a routine repeated for ages past Join the groups, follow orders feel the drain, but never fold The beast left sleeping in the yard with thousands of others, Each more different than the other until they're wakened by a master's order Brought back to a cave at the back of a lodging. and left to sleep until next morning Returning to the dwellings, all alike watching mirrors upon the altars Until the sun falls behind the towers and the shadows come to play once more lock us up, the lights are covered and into darkness, we're brought once more. Floating up into simple stars, they're always missing just one eye Into water, feathers, springs until finally we drift into a dream. And reality fades away. ...My strange dream ...Starts out the same way ...With a strange reality
