Breathless

I lie in bed awake at night

 

Unable to fully rest

 

Images of good or bad pushing thru

 

As my heart quickens in my chest

 

I cannot say that I awaken to an alarm

 

For I was never truly asleep

 

Why's it so hard to control one's thoughts?

 

My inner Utopia I'd like to keep

 

I refuse to turn my back

 

These thoughts will not be pushed to my mind's ledge

 

For every stimuli existing within my realm

 

Is produced from the crown resting upon my head

 

Left only to pursue my dreams

 

That flit behind the lids of my eyes

 

Knowing one day I will find the way and the means to fly high in the sky

 

My lyrical pursuit will not be subdued

 

As I seek the haven of sleep I have not reached yet

 

Lines and lyric fuse within my spirit

 

Which is why I remain restless

 

The brief doze that my mind has chose

 

Between the scenes of prose my mind projects

 

Leaves me to be soar free within the walls of my dreams

 

Causing me to awaken breathless.
