Beyond Reality

Shadows dance in their

new home,

the stars their

disco ball.

Kiss the ground with your toes

and find the way with

fingerprints.

Raise the white flag to exhaustion,

and pray to your comforter.

Let the cold leather embrace you

like a past lover.

Have one foot speak heresy,

while the other rejoices.

Turn off that projector in your mind,

forget the past

and future.

Sink you head into

heaven

and

have Angels

whisper you lullabies.

Dream of fields of flowers,

where each bumblebee

hums their own song.

Dream of flying,

above the clouds

where everything is so softly spoken.

build civilizations,

where the people mutter

your name in

awe

Dream of world peace;

put an end to Death.

Dare to be,

who you wish you were.

Go to sleep.

Have the crescent moons of your eyes

sink

down

and

disappear.

Wipe away yesterday,

and wake up

a new

you.
