Awake But Asleep

I close my eyes

The day light dies

The dreams soon flow,

My imagination grows

Stars shine and twinkle,

In the dark blue sky

The moon is all alone,

And because of this, I cry.

I run across the sands of time,

Music plays, such a beautiful chime.

Diamonds glitter, rubies sparkle red,

My sleep is so deep, its almost as if I'm dead.

I'm smiling softly, though the tears still fall,

I sing a song and hear you call.

The sun now rises,

Burning bright and warm

It kisses my face,

with a heavenly charm.

I open my eyes,

But for some reason and being

Even when I'm awake,

My soul is still dreaming.
