As I sleep

Wrapped in silver wings

Dreaming of simpler things

Of days gone by

And how time flies

Of life, and love

And joys denied

And as I wish

Not to wake

To stay forever

In this state

Where birds all sing

And joy abounds

And true love always

To be found

And as I wake

To new sunrise

And look around

With sleepy eyes

Try not to be caught

By surprise

When life stares me in the face

And I want nothing more

Than to go back to that place
