oh sandman, bring me a dream!
a beautiful dream, unlike those from wakeful nights.
give me swift acres on Eurus
over clear water streams
and throat deep into the softest petals.
give me the slow, careful embrace
of one who knows me.
give me the sun and the moon.
let me watch as the stars dance,
flowing about the sky
like a pool of mercury.
let me feel insignificant and small
in a race for the biggest of things.
let me dream of the things i couldn’t have
as if i always had them.
i beg of you just let me dream.
give me soft whispers by candlelight.
let me be content to watch the wax fall.
don’t let me lay down to sleep
only to realize i must immediately reopen my eyes.
let me communicate with the parts of me i never see.
let me forget the world around me.
let it fade into color.
