dreams and realization

So just a disclaimer I specifically wrote this piece for an open at Red Rocks Community college. I think that it turned out great. there is no hidden meaning to it and in no way should it be taken seriously.

Dreams and realization

Cars pass by the window

Sighing I slowly close my eyes

Drifting off to fantasies

Dreams that only I can have

Jumping off a cliff

That feeling of falling into the seat

Jerking awake as another vehicle goes whizzing the other direction

And sighing I slowly close my eyes

Drifting off to fantasies

Dreams that only I can have

Running into an immense battle

An unknown land that I now call home

Waking up to the clang of metal

Cracking my neck in haste to raise my head

Just the bells of a train track warning us to stop

Sighing I slowly close my eyes

Drifting off to fantasies

Dreams that only I can have

Sitting in a park

Playing a guitar I never learn to play

So absorbed in the music

I forget to wake up

Suddenly the trees are in flames around me

The sirens are all over

Where am I?

What are these scraps of metal everywhere?

Why am I on the gurney?

The train shouldn’t it be moving?

The train…
