Resting in Splendor (11/24/12)


The sun streams through the glass panes of my window
And I’m blasted out of the dreams in my mind
And back into the world I had left hours before
Oh how I’ve fought to reach where anything can happen

I’d rather live in a delusional bubble of bliss,
A mirage of being perfectly content
Than arise to find that it’s all a cheap imitation
That there’s really just pain and sorrow instead

The city life can break down your very soul
It makes you dog tired until you have to pass out
The music in my head turns to resentful notes
Until it starts to slow to a halt all together

There are no clouds in these dreams that I have
It’s just you and me all alone up there
With trust and love and hope being all,
That’s between the two of our souls

Don’t bother waking me, I beg you
If this is truly just a fantasy in my mind
I’ll just stay here for eternity and a day
Until it’s the only reality that is left

Because forever will never be enough
