starlight sleepwalk

[zay]

I walk in the night and find myself
surrounded by falling dreams, wishing stars
burning, as angels whisper nursery rhymes
to heal the broken hearted and
it all lies before me, so much pain

He takes my hand and shows me
where the moon used to be
the desire to love is blundered,
since so many people turn away
with their hands burned trying to touch the sun
in their dream for better days,

I watch friends and loved ones in pain,
and soon the desire to touch morphs to dust
I'm knocked down by what's real and what's not
as I gently nestle the ground and stare up

at fallen dreams over the horizon, He runs and catches them since

He feels their pain, a tear falls
as the night's breeze tucks me in
to sleep under the wishes of so many.

From my bed I watch the stars
falling, streaking past my window,
I almost see myself running after them, to tell them
that it'll be ok, whoever you are.

The night blurs by with every wish
feeling helpless, I can't reach them all,
but can pray for the dawn

that is coming, He will rescue us,
as I dream He tells me
that it'll all be ok, rest
in the cool breeze of peace
