| Some say when we dream, it is our soul exploring the world...
Beyond the mighty oak lies the lonely weeping willow
reaching for the waters of the river on my pillow
Sometimes I cry so softly in the middle of the night
hoping to die so softly in the middle of the night
Not a physical death, rather a death of the mind
to erase the dark place that is better left behind
Let sleep be my escape, precious sleep won't you come
Counting lost sheep as I await the numb
One, two, three in the morning by the hands of time
as I fade into a masquerade...the sleeping, happy mime
Now fly away, soul, far beyond this broken home
for I keep you locked away with no freedom to roam
Rise above and discover, solace is waiting to be found
Smile a smile for me, for I seldom hear that sound
Look around the world, surround yourself with joy
Let what you see become the dream of this fragile, broken boy
For a moment, for an hour, shower me with peace
Before the morning dawn I hope upon this small release
Yet in my heart I fear the things you see as you fly free
will lead you to find, even with my haunted mind, you are safer here with me |

| I remember reading your very first rhyme on this site and being absolutely astounded, and each time I read a new rhyme of yours, I get the same feeling. The Lord gave you an awesome gift with words. |
