Shepherds’ Dream

Dreams are…
‣ to jump from;
‣ to play for.
Dreams are…
‣ to trip on;
‣ to hope for.

Bring dreams down
‣ from the heavens.
‣ I say.
Laying down
‣ for the sevens.
‣ I pray.
Counting down
‣ these sessions.
‣ I stay.
Eating down
‣ confessions.
‣ Mayday.
‣ Mayday.

Dreams are…
‣ to jump from;
‣ to play for.
Dreams are…
‣ to trip on;
‣ to hope for.

Conquering the crown,
‣ as legends.
‣ I play.
Talk of the town,
‣ like shepherds.
‣ I, slay.
Nerves are down,
‣ novel impressions.
‣ I belay.
Guarded by a gown,
‣ many lessons.
‣ My foreplay.

Dreams are…
‣ to hope for;
‣ to jump from.
…
‣ to hope for;
‣ to jump from.

Calming down
‣ possessions.
‣ I fly away.
Steering around
‣ oppressions.
‣ I head away.
Leaving crown’s
‣ expectations.
‣ I decay.

I decay…
I decay…

Dreams are…
‣ To jump from;
‣ To play for.
Dreams are…
‣ To trip on;
‣ To hope for.
