In Dreams

In my dreams I take a trek,
A journey so impossible,
To heights I could never reach,
To places philosophical,
Lands that do not exist,
In my conscious mind,
That I do not believe in,
But deep down long to find,

It is one place in particular,
That I have to go,
One visit that I have to make,
To soothe my heart & soul,
One face that I have to see,
Before I go back home,
Back to reality,
Back to being alone,

One very important person,
That I love & miss,
One very special person,
That I long to hug & kiss,
And in my dreams it's possible,
To see her face again,
To see her laugh & smile,
Feel my heart lessen with pain,

To hold her hand & pretend,
That everything's the same,
All those years passed - a lie,
We're just wee kids again,
Innocent children,
Untouched by sorrow,
The potential to be anything,
With infinite tomorrows,

It is here that I am really free,
In a state of bliss,
Free from my demons,
Able to experience happiness,
The one place that I do not hurt,
That I do not feel broken,
That I can say all those many things,
That were originally left unspoken,

But like all dreams it has to end,
And as I awake,
I'm torn away from the garden,
My heart begins to ache,
Although it really hurts,
The dreams are always worth the pain,
For I would pay any price,
To see her face again,

It may seem contradictory,
For someone who is agnostic,
To dream of a place so divine,
A place without logic,
My reasons are very simple,
They are rational & plain,
I dream of this impossible place,
To escape from my pain,

In this impossible garden,
The sun shines forever,
The darkness cannot penetrate,
No demons whatsoever,
Whereas back in my reality,
I can never escape or win,
I have tried to drown my demons,
But they know how to swim.
