Chapter 42 - Dream A Dream
Dream a Dream
Part I
We danced and danced
to the music of the age
We laughed and had fun
and danced to our hearts content
Out in the courtyard
in the night air cold
Lights upon the tree
and reflections upon the pond
I sat and glanced
up at the sky
The stars, they blinked
and together they wink
I wonder at the stars
but then out comes the couples
Misplaced I feel
as I watch them smile
Oh, how fondly they smile
into each others eyes
A tear rolls down my check
as I think, Why isnt that me?
Part II
I glanced out across the floor
and watch as they dance
A shiver runs down my spine
as they dance away
They seem to grow distant
indistinct and non-existent
And I feel my knees shaking
growing weak
And I think
for just a minute
I should go and leave
I dont belong
Theyre all dancing
all having fun
So I leave the room
and into the courtyard I go
I sit in the dark corner
watching them from afar
I watch as many come and go
its like a dream, you see
Then one comes
alone and sad
She comes and sits
beside the pond
And I think
What does she want?
Part III
She hugs herself
he watches from afar
The bell rings inside my head
and I know theyre meant to be
A tear runs down
her milky face
A flash of concern
shows in his eyes
He stands and walks to her
she looks at him, confused
He asks if shes alright
she tells him to simply leave
He smiles and shrugs
but doesnt leave
He sits beside her and whispers
Pretend its a dream.
