Within A Dream

Sick of waiting, suffocating
Tired of living in silence hating
Wondering when it all will cease
Longing to find that endless peace
Reaching for an unseen hand
Blindly scanning barren land
Searching out the life not lived
Grasping for that priceless gift
Holding on to bare thread
Not giving into the consuming dread
Watching the light pass through the sky
Not ready to give up life and die
Losing grip on all that is real
Silently praying to once again feel
Wanting to find the light in the dark
Silently searching for that single spark
Wanting to live and to be free
Hoping once again to be able to see
Wanting to live the life that was meant
Patiently waiting for answers to be sent
Noting the change in the world around
Gazing as the last star falls to the ground
Dreaming of the life that might have been
Wanting to go back to start over again
Searching for a sign, for unyielding hope
Seeing this life through another's scope
Watching it all as if in a dream
Wondering if everything is how it seems
Settling back into the arms of sleep
Eyes closing to silently weep
Turmoil erupting in the heart and mind
Hoping relief is swift and judgment is kind
Peacefully drifting into the sands of time
While knowing the love was not a crime
Waking up in the night with a start
Finally realizing one must follow the heart


This was just a little something that sort of just came to me while staring at the dreaded blank computer screen.
