I was walking down the street one day
With my body in autopilot and mind far away
Thinking of the events that had made my mood most grey.
Wondering if today it would actually rain
A quiet reminder of the world’s silent pain
But as I walked along I found something quite bizarre
Something I had never seen on my journey thus far
An old Bicycle tied to a tree at the handle bar
I have never seen this thing before yet I had taken this road many times
Wondering if it just got here or if it’s been here this whole time
The Bicycle was warn and old
As if it had witness ages history would rather leave untold
Where have you come from little
As I sit by my fire
Oh so very tired
I think of events that have transpired
I have won personal victories
But have paid a personal price
Which I now think about on this moonless night
I have escaped a chapter of my life with great joy
As if I were a child opening a new toy
Or like when a girl meets a boy.
But where I have gained I have also lost
As I sit by myself deep in thought.
In an odd way I find myself back where I began so long ago
Alone in the dark not sure where to go
But these are thoughts for another time
For I am tired and ill need my rest to solve the questions in my mind.
Oh sleepy prince how do you dream?
Do you dream on pillows the color of cream?
Or do you simply think of some place more serene?
Is your room as cold as the snow?
Or is it as warm as the king's throne?
Oh sleepy prince where do you go?
Do you dream of adventures in lands untold?
Or do you simply wait for your dream to unfold?
Do you dream of the world in which you live?
Or is it something more fantastic? I bet it is.
Oh sleepy prince who joins you there?
Is it your loyal hound which holds you dear?
Or another protector who shows no fear?
Whoever it is do they keep you safe?
After all, dreams can be a dangerous place.
Oh sleepy
A king our King!
What a marvelous thing
We had rejoiced for we did love our King
Our King was grand, our King was fair
He was not so high and mighty to cast aside our despair
He had a city rich with trade
And regular parades
To show how grand our city was
Till one day a stranger did bring our King a certain ring
And things seemed to….change
At first things were swell our King's influence it did swell
But his power seemed to lead him to a personal hell
While his power did grow
He seemed to get very old
Until the time he was deathly white
He would hide himself way
We wished for his return we would pray
But the king we knew had
"Dream of the Sandman"
Hello little ones of body and soul.
You seem suppressed to be called that considering some of you are very old
For you see when you were little I have existed for years untold
You have never meet me when you have walked upon both feet
For to find me you must be very much asleep
My residence is sometimes a mansion built strong with stone
Or sometimes it is box that is very much torn
I am always with you whether in the warm or the cold
Because to me you are special until the day you are nevermore
We all dream of fame
We all dream of glory
But what of those who only dream is to hear a story?
Those are the few
