My Long Dream

 

The  waves of the violent sea

        and the twinkling drops of dew

whatever it may be

        I know that it’s not true

 

I know that I am not seeing

        the real flowers and the stream

For, I am now just sleeping

       and this life is all my dream

 

What if I now fall?

      what if I now rise?

I know that it is all

    a dream inside my eyes

 

I know that I am sleeping

     in a heaven far away

and the sorrows of my living

      is my dream anyway

 

By the touch of the light

       by the beginning of the morn

The bad dream of this night

        will vanish and be gone

 

Whatever I may get

    and whatever I may take

I know I will forget

     when I am awake

 

All this worldly pain

      and the sorrows of this night

will never come again

      when I wake up in the light

 

I wish to wake up soon

     and rub my sleepy eyes

to toss the sun and moon

        and paint the lovely skies

 

In a few hours I will rise

   when the sun rays slowly fall

and then with joy realize

     it was my dream after all…
