A Dream

The road seems long

With clouds of dust around

I thirst for haven

But to this place I am bound

My heart wants to sing

But the words are all lost

Voices of distant times

Seem blurred in the frost

I run and run and run

But get lost in the fog

With no one ‘round to help

I finally start to slog

I turn all around

To find people, I knew

But the fog gets deeper

And things get askew

In the white frosty blanket

I thought of promises made

Made to be broken

In this thick, dull glade

I looked up for the last time

And tears flooded my eyes

The sight of people leaving me alone

Revealed all their true lies
