SO YOU THINK


Tonight the dreams come
They return over again
Never leaving peace behind
The same beginnings

Always turmoil in dark places
People running to and from
Panic and screams of terror
No faces just the desire for escape

Building lay in ruins
Bricks once having order
Now in the chaos of the dream
It takes form and ravages the mind

There must be meaning
Always search for understanding
Even when none exists
Swirling winds wipe clean the earth

To what end
Consumed in self indulgence
Of the intellects ability to decypher
All the secrets of the universe

Arrogance prevails in self
Where the dream merges
Into reality is lost
What is left is who we are
