Dreaming
Drifting
to and fro
till the world ceases
and my World begins.
Usually I flew through the air
carried to and fro, wherever I wished
a being of the air, free from care
to see all there was in my World.
Sometimes I'd let myself shift
and open my eyes to see what I became
a fish, a dragon, a dog or snake
to be anything that was in my World.
The World held the power of wishes
to change, create and build from nothing
yet I no longer feel the same
and so does my World.
What I wished was mine to hold
to have forever but only for a moment
for they stayed until the end
to allow all to be within my World.
Worlds were born and worlds destroyed
created to live, die and bring joy
each different from the last
but all a part of my World.
The World was my kingdom, realm and universe
I was a God, a Devil and Man
yet now I feel as though I've lost
and it's no longer mine.
Now my dreams have faded
emptiness haunts their forgotten forms
painful for their lost promises
of beauty in my World.
Their passions changed to gray
hope forgotten, wishes unheard
for I'd lost my power
and the key to my World.
The World held such wonders
but now they faded to black
I wonder what hides within
that shadow of hatred and darkness.
The World now frightens me
for deep within the shadows
lie the horrors of nightmares
that now lurk within my World.
They whisper to me, sometimes
of what they'll do when the time comes
but where they'll come from they won't say
but I know... from my World.
The World, once a place of wonder
has become a den of devils
festering beasts, with a flicker of hope
is what my world's become.
Fading
here to there
till the world dies
and I am awake.
