Analysis of somnium
Sarah Midland 1985 (The Dalles)
Twisting in the sands of time,
A place with no beginning and no end,
An empty place that’s only mine,
A place where darkness is my friend,
The world is heavy let it go,
Cut the ties that bind,
Release your pain and let it flow,
Hold tight the peace you find.
