I dreamed of a dream
That suffice the need to go
Something beyond to uphold
Whether it lures me depth or noneI dreamed of castles
To live not in luxury
But in the least of homelessness
And grasp refuge on all daysI dreamed of beige
To see things in the light of calmness;
The simplicity of being alone
And the fairness of all things plainI dreamed terror be gone
And live with the feeling of nothingness
Not nothingness to emptiness
But o — to feel comfort and contentI dreamed for the truth
To know the worth of madness;
What lies behind my thoughts
O, to reap all the answersI dreamed of home
The arousal scent of familiarity
As though baked a long time ago
Yet unhinged for the times it'd be openI dreamed of love
The excitement of a loved one;
How they gave me kindness and hope
When I had nothing in my cupI dreamed of a life
That's full of light and peace
Heaped by nothing but solace
And graced by the beauty of living⊶⊰ ⊱⊷
