Dream

In the quiet of the night, when shadows creep,  

I close my eyes, and into dreams I leap.  

A world of hope, where skies are blue,  

Where every wish and prayer comes true.  

But dawn breaks harsh, the light reveals,  

The weight of life, the pain it deals.  

A path of thorns, a rocky climb,  

Each step forward, a battle of time.  

Dreams once bright. . .
