All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream -Edgar Allen Poe


Have you ever woken up?
Watching distant clouds go by
Closed your eyes, held your breath
Wished that you could fly

Watching distant clouds go by
Longed to spread your wings
Wished that you could fly
Away from everything

Longed to spread you wings
You’re so tired of the world
Away from everything
You have felt and you have heard

You’re so tired of the world
Closed you’re eyes, held your breath
You have felt and you have heard
Have you ever woken up?

This is brilliantly put together! Very well done.

If this is your life, I have lived it many a day, my friend.
