Chasing The Dream

Suddenly tomorrow is here,
And something is amiss –
The day is duly dampened,
Why did it end like this?

My thoughts are full of night,
As I fumble through the day,
Catching glimpses, snippets, flashes,
Watching images as they fray.

To unearth the hidden secrets,
Searching the why’s and wherefores,
Simple in its winding stream,
With no end of open flaws.

Leaping through time, and place and reason,
Troubled minds now unaware,
Plotting scenes that now escape me,
Stirring hopes I’d like to share.

Finding time for contemplation,
Looking to what has gone before,
Soaking the silence with a daydream,
Tempting me to want for more.

Dusk has settled slowly,
As the day draws to a close,
My eyes becoming heavy,
As I seek my dream – in doze.

Will you be there once again?
Can I look upon your face?
Shall we dance the whole night through,
In a dream I try to chase?

And in sleep I meet new faces,
Some I know, some yet to meet,
And a new tale is untangled,
Just as bitter, just as sweet.
