Sweet and Sour Dreams

Awake we live in a world so confined,
While asleep we dream of wonders to find,
Our minds expand and our horizons fall,
For in this world we heed adventure's call,

We set out free of bounds and explore all to see,
We become the things we forever want to be,
Here in this realm no laws nor rules can restrict,
Our futures become unruly and hard to predict,

We do as we please and we are pleased as we do,
Here you will see what lies deep within you,
The heart beats faster as the rush takes hold,
Imaginations move in leaps and bounds untold,

Colours twist and twirl weightless in the air,
Visions erupt and sweet sensations occur,
Emotions fill the emptiness of your soul,
Until your ravished heart cannot pay the toll,

A head in the clouds inspires visions so sweet,
Yet be careful of where you rest your feet,
As the sun shines high in this world so endless,
Hidden deep beneath is a dark unyielding abyss,

Swoop and glide through the clouds in the sky,
Do not drop nor dive too deep, this you must try,
There is a threat forever present to us all,
The threat of the animus awakening fall,

The darkness we fear is not confined to our mind,
It is the world in which we wake ourselves to find.
