Dreamer, what are your dreams?
Is your brain frozen cold in a cloud?
Is reality less than it seems?
Your visions - silent or loud?
*
Cumulus, cumulo, cumular
Banality, fluffy and white.
Do you dream of a faraway star?
Is your day exploding at night?
*
Can stratus level the mind,
Greyness obscuring all thought?
The dream has nothing to find
Some fish can never be caught.
*
Fly high, your Cirrean dream,
Your castle founded on air
A non-understandable theme,
Hopes and ambitions laid bare.
*
Dream of nimbucular rain
Torrents of darkness and fear
Anticipation of pain
Only waking can make disappear.
*
Dreams held fast within dreams
Clouds – grey, white and immense -
See there, as daylight first gleams,
The dreamer searching for sense.
