In A Dream

In a dream, a hazy vision A misty gauze swept away To reveal a childish dreamland Echoing with lost wishes

In a dream of a world reborn Into a new universe Basking in the light Of a glowing, new dawn

In a dream of new hopes Of new beginnings A flawless perfection Unachievable, except -

In a dream, of somewhere Some place, where I could Be free of the leash Choking, grasping, strangling

In a dream, where I could Be safe, be true, be real In a new reality That could only ever exist

In a dream, just a dream A forlorn wish In a dream, only ever a dream Echoing with lost hope.
