Legend says when you sleep,

You're taken to another land. Where your heart flys and

Wishes come true.


But sometimes such a land falls into shadows.

It becomes dark and dreary,

Where nightmares live and

Can haunt your very soul.


Such can be saved by the waking world.

But a choice must be made,

For sometimes the land of the living is to be feared as well.


Was there no solution?

Just the repetitive choices and

Decisions that one must

Repeatedly make?

O' but their was.


The children of sleep,

A pair of twins,

A brother, and a sister,

Made their choice by volunteer.

They shall sleep forever.

So have no fear.


The sleeping twins, shall slumber forevermore

So others can wake, and won't despair.

The world of day, shall live on,

Without the horrors,

That once plagued reality.


A castle was built around them,

By the gratitude of those awake.

A kingdom grew,

And time flew.

They were encased in a eternal youthful sleep,

Suspended by time.


The children of sleep were forgotten

Legends were told, and

Dusk turned to gold.

Remembered for centuries.


On cold December nights.

Festivals arise.

Gifts, music, and joy, to prize,

Played in memory of the twins.

Not quite forgotten.

Alive and well in memory.


Above, inside the castle.

The dreamers lay dormant

With their guardian by their side.

O' all was well within the lives of the kingdom.

But what was to happen,

If the dreamers awake?
