Persistance of a dream
Persistance of a dream
I drempt a dream to dream a dream once more
Reflections on lipid pools of tears
where shadows stand still and there's no resistance
to time. Where doubts sailed away on ripples toward
the sea. To dream this dream once more.
Where kings fell down and kings stood up and changed
The way we see.
From me to we,to fight to be,wasn't a right won free.
Was a time and a time it was. A time of death a
death of time. To live to die ,to die to live ,was
this the dream to be. Or perchance to dream of peace
and to live his dream once more.
Like hand prints encased
in stone that took away our fears. With a single
stroke of a rusted bell, faded into the rhythm's of
that day. I drempt a dream to say ,lets live that
dream today
