A Dream

A Dream

There was an unknown place full of sweet water

To get there I needed to walk through the dark to find care

Half way in my journey I was hit with a breeze so cold

It ran chills through me but it had somehow brought me peace

With hope I started running to be closer to nature

Getting closer I stopped to admire the view feeling warm

There was a little opening where the sun made the area warm

Drawn to the environment, I yearned to get closer to the sweet water

Looking around, I thought to myself was this my nature?

Was this where I could finally find my care?

Could I make this my own and find peace?

In this place I didn’t feel cold

The birds sang showing me they weren’t cold

I danced to their music making me feel warm

It called me telling me to be at peace

It protected me and gave me sweet water

It taught me how to love and care

The song had shown me their nature

I was in euphoria, being one with my nature

Why would one find comfort in the cold?

I said to birds as I fed them with care

The sun was shining on us with emotions so warm

I ran to with the birds where I found a stream of water

It led to a waterfall that made beautiful sounds of peace

I walked closer but before I could find peace,

I fell leaving behind my nature

I closed my eyes letting go in the sweet water

My thoughts were empty and it felt so cold

In the dark shadows I had no longer felt warm

I was drowning without no care

It was time to say goodbye to my care

It was time to say goodbye to my peace, 

And it was time to say goodbye my warm

I woke up realizing I was back to reality, back to my true nature

My room was dark and cold

My reality had no sweet water

I missed my sweet water and how the birds gave me care

The beautiful nature and the sun that was always warm 

The cold overshadowed it but I will still lay here in peace,

Waiting for my next dream
