Beyond The Realm of Dreams

When bounds of logic stretch

Beyond conscious belief

When even within dreams

The possibility of life together is far...

Far from the realm of reality

What more then

Is there but to dream

Within the realm of dreams

Hand in hand

We walk the flower dotted

Grassy field

Within the realm of dreams

Hand in hand

Barefoot

We stroll the warm sand

Rock strewn beach

Beyond the realm of dreams

Where distance in time and space

And obligation are impossible

To overcome

Within the realm of dreams

What more then is there

But to dream

The dream of sleeping

Your head upon my shoulder

The breath you breathe

Warm upon my ear

Who then can foretell or prompt

Or dismiss a dream

To awaken with a sad heart

And a longing within your soul.

Who then can foretell or prompt

Or dismiss the slumbering thoughts

That come at night

That bring sighs of longing

Upon awakening,

Or the tears that form...

Beyond the realm of dreams
