Fast asleep with one eye open
Sank into the deepest dream
A stirring wood
A slumbered stream
Built me a bridge in-between
.
To lose plain sight of conscious mind
Into the night oneself to find
My musings too profuse to ward
Less night be shorn and dawn break loose
Dawn break loose
Dawn break loose
Sank into the deepest dream
To wade through prelude
Thus convey mood every shade serene
Every shade serene
Every shade serene
.
Fast asleep with eyes wide open
Every fibre long since spoken
Woven through the fabric of a suchlike other-worldly motion
Motion
Motion
Motion
Ocean
Under the same stellar moon
Within unbounded treasure room
A dreamboat in the broad lagoon
Of vast imagination
.
Seeing
Hearing
Smelling
Tasting
Touching
Clutching
Captivated
Picnic hamper
Cosy blanket
To each sense a handsome banquet
Country miles from lands of languish
Face nowise so pale with anguish
Far away from idle habit
Every night
A rite of passage
.
Every dream within my reach
And reason sweet to grab it
Here within the deepest dream
Feet of fleeting weave the fabric
.
A maple ridge
A rocky crag
Faintest trails of roebuck stag
Crystal fountain spilling diamonds
Willing on the shrill of silence
.
Shimmering to charm horizon
Waters of Poseidon’s skim
Scented of eccentric whim
Beckoning of moonlit swim
.

Here within the deepest dream
Feet of fleeting weave the fabric
.
Binding solely elevation
Burning bright to spark creation
Free of fearful trepidation
Tearful in innate elation
Seeing
Hearing
Smelling
Tasting
Touching each divine abrasion
Every night
A day to relish
Throne room of bejeweled embellish
.
Sweet of nature and persuasion
Very same in steeped sensation
.
Sweet of nature and persuasion
Very same in steeped sensation
.
Under the same stellar moon
Barefoot in the reawakened stream
.
Here within the only waking dream beknownst to me
My deepest soul be home with She
For She doth redefine the role of queen
Under the same stellar moon
We bathe in lunar rays that boon the waves
To savour grace attuned to faith too soon misplaced by many
Thus create estate for famed embrace
And do so wide awake
In name of adulation legendary
.
Sinking
Sinking
Sinking
Syncing
Sink into the sweetest dream
To wade through prelude
Thus convey mood every shade of luminously seen
.
Sink in
Sink in
Sync into the sweetest dream
To wade through prelude
Thus convey mood every shade of luminously seen
.
Luminously seen
Luminously seen
Seen
Seen
.
Swimming in the moonlit dream
Spun from that which only two as one could e’er conceive
Somewhere in the great space in-between
Seen
