Analysis of Daydreaming in the Dark
The world is hushed
By sleep that evades me
And my mind is burdened
By words that I will to escape me
Ink fills blank pages
With things my heart
Does not dare bring to life
But I fear will tear me apart
If caged another night
With a pen the door opens
Be free and take flight
On paper thin wings
Go on, go on
My flimsy little dreams
