To dream

Dreams are a void in the mind,
Some good,
Some Bad,
There is always some hidden meaning,
Whether you see it or not,

Your mind is healing,
From hurts deep inside,
Forever in a second, A minute,
What is time?

Reality is only a word,
Its meaning has no depth,
In dreams you finally realize,
We are somewhere else,
Much further than our bed,

Here you find real magic,
The kind you can only feel in dreams,
Making your heart race or filling you with fear,
Helping you feel hope, Compassion, Love,
Helping you work through all your thoughts,

You can teach yourself to fly,
So you can stop being scared to fall,
You can climb and climb, every mountain side,
Learn again,
What it means,
To enjoy life,

We can ride on a boat in a ocean made of milk,
Or run down the street with nothing but a hat,
Every moment in our dreams has ridiculous things like that,
We dream about people, places and things,
All of this leading us onward,
Through our dreams,

As we push forward,
Through the hours of the night,
We slowly begin to learn,
From those thoughts we wrapped so tight,
Nothing is hidden here,
Nothing can run away,
We are exactly what we are seeing,
With that little bit of reality thrown away.
