Dream Within A Dream
The dream within a dream I see
A dream I see isn't the dream that be,
Because the dream no longer dreams
But begins with a thought from me.
Not all is what it would appear to be
As too its not all that it would seem,
Because in a dream that I would dream
The rhythm of life flows through the stream.
Dream you the immortal dreamer
Dream your night with truth and grace,
For the morning dawn will bring the sun
And alas the day ahead you must face.
Then to the night when night-time falls
Your soul will enter the dreamer's dream,
Whether you are of friend or that of foe
The balance will depend on your waking scream.
