Night dreams of the dream breaker
memories left abruptly behind
still linger about in my dreams
erupt in deep sleep in the dark rainy night
suddenly I jump to my feet
startled afraid I am awake
trembling hands covered up
stumbling to drink warm milk
to make calm sleep return
as I tell myself it was just a dream
praying so thankful it was just a nightmare
then again, awake I am
stands the cold bitter presence of a man
that dream breaker still visiting the mind
in these terrifying eruptions in the night

These song lyrics and art are tales, tides and twinkling lights - tunes telling stories of warmth and sun, city and sand, paths that lead, and the coins we can keep in the Karma Bank. Spirit's been bypassed for sorrow, dreaming of a better tomorrow .
