Peaceful Dreams©

In the peace of our dreams at night
We desperately hold onto our thoughts
Holding on to everything good we feel and know
Eagerly trying to chase away the bad and those who cause it
When we close our eyes we see only what we want to see
We feel only what we want to feel
We bring back the memories we want to bring back
These are our peaceful times
In this I see a meadow filled with lilies
Frogs sitting across from each other with the same look that we have
As we lay stretched out on the hill
On our backs we lay
The clouds swiftly moving overhead
We count the seconds it takes for each group to pass us by
The seagulls are racing each other, who will win
We close our eyes to hide from the sun
Hoping that our peaceful dreams won’t pass us by
How long do we wait until we slip into a dream?
