Close Your Eyes and Dream

“Close your eyes,”
“Close your eyes and dream.”
“Dream of days bathed in sunlight.”
“The earth covered in gentle green.”
“Close your eyes,”
“And wake up.”
From ash stand the remains of the past,
Grey and lifeless, barren and nearly endless,
Scare the once fertile green and blue.
Memories of yesterday will not be easily forgotten.
Yet the earth lets go and returns all that once was to dust.
“Close your eyes.”
“For the dream is near reality.”
“The mechanical cold dream.”
“The world’s lie.”
Fire and ash turn to dust,
And from dust, the earth begins anew.
“Close your eyes,”
“Close your eyes and dream.”
“Dream of days bathed in sunlight.”
“The earth covered in gentle green.”
“Close your eyes,”
“And wake up.”
“Wake up and see what can be.”
The past remains in ruins,
The past remains a scar.
The earth lets go the past,
Yet the ones who remain cannot.
For that scar, still remains.
Will time repeat the past?
Will all that remains fall apart?
“Close your eyes,”
“Close your eyes and let go.”
“Let go the past.”
From ash stand the remains of the past,
Grey and lifeless, barren and nearly endless,
Scare the once fertile green and blue.
Memories of yesterday will not be easily forgotten.
Yet the earth lets go and returns all that once was to dust.
“Close your eyes,”
“Close your eyes and dream.”
“Dream of better days,”
“Of what could be.”
“Goodnight to yesterday,”
“Farewell to the past.”
“Close your eyes,”
“Close your eyes and wake up.”
“Wake up and see tomorrow;”
