Nocturne

I conversed with strangers who are faceless friends
in alien language without using my voice.
Dream, a dream, it was only a dream!

I walked without moving my legs,
flying without wings across the ground.
Dream, a dream, it was only a dream!

I traversed other lands, with the warmth of home
in familar labyrinths and distant landscapes.
Dream, a dream, it was only a dream!

I saw the world spinning backwards
but my eyes were closed the entire time.
Dream, a dream, it was only a dream!

I was pulled toward a light
behind the doors of my eyelids.
Awake, awake, I am now awake!
