Sleep

In sleep, in dreams there is a world worth living in.
When you sleep to dream, dream to escape reality
You may as well be dead.
Who are we, the lost? The hungry, the dying?
No one sees because we hide from truth,
We hide from the light.
In darkness, the velvet earth spreads her arms above her head
Stretches and yawns, but crawls back inside her comforting sheath.
"Come out to play." I beckon to my body
My mind, my soul, my who what where why?
Now... that is the vehicle to hop into,
that's the convertible, top down, cruising west to the land of sunshine
Palm trees and movie stars.
Rapid eye movement... R.E.M... we see it all.
Sleep.
Dream.
Wake.
A blur...
