Don’t Wake Me

 

Don’t wake me as I dream

I like the realm I’m in

I fly to summers long ago

And places that I’ve been.

 

Don’t wake me as I dream

I’m in another sphere

And living in another land

So far away from here.

 

Don’t wake me as I dream

Just let me stay a while

I love the gentle wisps of wind

That tickle me to smile-

 

Don’t wake me as I die

For now I go to dream

In that quiet yonder place

With scattered stars between
