Dreams 101 By Danny Villarreal

 

 

     When the darkness comes

     I welcome it with sleep

     My eyes close before myself

     As I’m swallowed by the deep.

 

     The story begins to move

     And I cannot believe

     A world appeared before my eyes

     And all the sights I see

 

     People driving with no lights

     And I have tic-tac bombs

     A stranger with a mindset

     That there is something to be done

 

     I don't know what to do

     But someday soon I will

     Fireflies beneath the sun god

     Are giving me a chill

 

     The plants have started speaking

     And I yearn to understand

     As I battle with my conscience

     That is so inherently man

 

     What are these secret codes

     And images of flight

     A sparse annoying sounds

     Breaks the seal of night

 

     The world slips away again

     Like insects from a jar

     Fleeting visions, abstract thoughts

     Never go very far.

 

     Now reality is replaced

     Or redefined by time

     Come with me on a trip

     A journey in my mind.
