Little Dreamer (Wandering The Veil)

I see you wander, Little Dreamer

Through the landscape of your mind

I see you wander through the veil

So unsure of what you’ll find

A path so cloaked and misty

Does it hide an open door?

And I see you’re back this evening

Just what are you looking for?

Are you scared that you won’t find it?

Or are you scared you maybe will?

Is your psyche filled with dread?

Or does the thought give you a thrill?

Will you know it when you find it?

Or perhaps you’ll walk on by?

Will you wander through the mist more?

Or ascend so truly high?

So many questions, Little Dreamer

Do the answers lie in wait?

You must look so deep within you

For when you do, you’ll know your fate

This one is for all you dream warriors out there. As someone who rarely, if ever, remembers his dreams, I can only speculate on what it’s truly like to roam the veil in the arms of Morpheus.

Peace, and enjoy.

        Fair point. Fear is not always to admit, I suppose.

    When I first saw this image it reminded me of dreams…you have a greater grasp on things than you let on sometimes, Kevin 😉
    And yes, let’s hope one can find the open door, soon.
