In the peace of our dreams at night

We desperately hold onto our thoughts

Holding on to everything good we feel and know

Eagerly trying to chase away the bad and those who cause it

When we close our eyes we see only what we want to see

We feel only what we want to feel

We bring back the memories we want to bring back

These are our peaceful times

In this I see a meadow filled with lilies

Frogs sitting across from each other with the same look that we have

As we lay stretched out on the hill

On our backs we lay

The clouds swiftly moving overhead

We count the seconds it takes for each group to pass us by

The seagulls are racing each other, who will win

We close our eyes to hide from the sun

Hoping that our peaceful dreams won’t pass us by

How long do we wait until we slip into a dream?
