dreams

Dream again

You slept so softly as the earth burned

Awoken by the screams beyond your realm

Humans called for your name in blood

So below you

Yet so persistent

A gentle breeze broke through your dream

Once of gentle fires and distant tears

Now choking smoke ever twisting

Left to drift beyond your world

Stranded awake in an infinite loop

Watching everything you build break

Twisted and jagged

You feel your world beckon

A cruel tugging to destroy what little is left

Fighting the sleep pulling at your eyes

You don't remember the sweet lullabies
