Once upon a dream
Once upon a dream...
Through the deep dark forest,
My heart takes me to places
Where the feet dreadest;
Plethora of unexplored darkness
Deep inside.
I feel the clouds of my sins above
Weighing me down,
Hear whispers from the cove
Their yore unbeknown.
Space, both moving and stationery
Warped, in synchronous strife
Around me, diluting reality;
Sentient being in the afterlife.
I wander on and on,
As the thunder rumbles above me
And the leaves crunching below me,
As I trod on and on.
Distant distorted din of wails
Ring through the woodland,
My feet takes me towards the source.
I walk and walk and now
Wailing turned into crying
Laced with the innocence
That of a baby.
A bundle of innocent flesh
Laying there in the dark
Whilst the leaves rustled,
The unheard cries stark
As it echoes around.
I reach for the infant
Cooing at me
And I lift her from the ground,
Cradling her frail fresh.
Distant distorted din of howls
Ring through the forest,
Ominous sound at an idyllic moment.
I glance at the clouds
Then at her face, both so serene,
Accentuating the grace of innocence
Lost somewhere along the path of maturity,
Sweet relic of the halcyon days.
That delicate face conjured up
Memories of my vulnerable self,
Before I became
A reflection of the society I live in.
In that moment,
A voice resonating in undertones
Filled the lands,
"'Tis everything but a dream".
Soon burst out
A bright blinding blaze
Blurring my thoughts
Breaking the trance,
As the darkness engulfed my soul
Into its bleak embrace.
Once upon a dream...
