Reverie

Drifting in and out of sleep,
The city slowly fades away
Distant dissonant disorder
Pleasantly fills my dreams

Somewhere in the corner of
The place I like to call my mind
Illusions of delusions call and
Take me to another time

Jaded by my memories
And worn down by reality
An alternate dimension
Offers welcoming serenity

And when I'm in my little world,
Nothing ever bother me
And everything is blue and red and green
Hypnotized within myself,

The colors lead me through the sand
Eroding and corroding what I can
Wandering through foggy dew,
I travel far to look at you

Lifting stars from sea to sky and further
Galactic clouds of twilight dawn
And everything this crystal morn
Is drifting in a state of blissfulness

Orion greets the winter sky
As he slowly passes by
The moon offers its cold and watchful stare
The summer night replaces frost,

The budding trees no longer lost
The gyroscopic stellar dance of dawn
Moonlight paints serenity
With photographic memory

And sugar-coated lunacy
Protects the world from sanity
Dripping silent water down
Across the lonely forest town

The tidal mountain glacier marches
Slowly towards oblivion
Sometimes life gets to me
And I get so strung out

When I pick up my guitar
I remember what it's all about
Summer springs of sunlight gaze
Upon the late returning haze

Across the foggy moor I hear
The siren singing songs of praise
Somewhere is a distant bell
Recalling all who call it home

Writing music of the spheres
Into a worn-out dusty tome
Into the writing on the wall
Across the ancient stellar road

Mosquitos prancing and cavorting
Searching for the motherload
And off the beaten path I go
To find another path for all

But everything is not as it should be
Abandoned castles on the shores
That once bore witness to many wars
Are now alone to face the wind and rain

And that is pouring everywhere
So leave the world in nature's care
And everything will find a kind of balance
Jagged rocky cliffs eclipse

The setting sun in times of dusk
Darkening the shadows at its base
Leading spirits through the maze
Of calibrated charnel grays

The moonbeams illuminate the ways
The brackish water in the pond
Frames the spider on the frond
That slowly works its way into my dreams

And then I see with clarity,
So like angelic charity
Yet somehow different in a way
That I don't quite comprehend

Cerebral solitary dreams
Of infinite planes serene
Secluded hidden hollows sleep
In secret hiding from the scene

The world fades out as I tune in,
Then I know just wehre I've been
And everything around me fades away
No longer bound inside my cage,

Now free to wander where I may
Or wander to a state of mind
That I have never had before
Stumbling across the plain,

I gaze into the lake of steam
Lifting spirits from their resting place
To live in my day dream
So, returning to the land

That I once entered to pretend
To be more than I thought I could be
Until I learned to love again
Standing on the edifice

I fix my gaze upon the land
And cross the distance boldy as I go
Dynasties will come and go,
But know that I will always know

That nothing is an everlasting dream
And so the tale goes on and on,
Screaming on the wings of dawn
And if it's long, I guess I can pretend

One day I journeyed to the sea,
And wandered by a cypress tree
I found that silence was a worthy cause
And walking on the evening waves,

I saw her staring back at me
I watched the tides calmly take
The misty maiden out to sea
I dreamed the same thing every night,

Dreams of mountains taking flight
Dreams of lovers in disguise
And dreams of spiders catching flies
And as I go and find the way,

Cicadas warble through the day
And in the end I think I'll go and play
Thirteen dreams within a mind,
Thirteen cycles intertwined

And everything is just a state of mind
Yeah, everything is just a state of mind.
