ABOVE THE CLOUDS

ABOVE THE CLOUDS

Above the clouds, a lost kingdom waits
for my dream filled sleep to enter in.
Deep sleep lures me upward silently
as I dance on silver stairs once again

Clouds below have hidden the castle
from view of those who don't believe
that miracles can happen even now
and there is no need for me to grieve.

A kingdom lost in time stands guard
over all who are brave enough to come
above the clouds, into the gray mist
where only dreams can bring anyone.

My knight in shining armor greets me
with smiling eyes and loving kiss,
Together we gaze at the clouds below
wishing it could always be like this.

I bid him to leave with me when I go
down the silver stairs back to home,
He bids me stay, he cannot leave,
for he is forbidden by time to roam

The clouds gain force and move up
to swallow the kingdom of the lost,
He takes my hand, bids me farewell
as I leave, but at what a sad cost.

I awake in the morning, as dreams fade
and reality sets in on yet another day.
Not a cloud in the sky, no sweet memory
of the knight, the castle - all gone away.

The kingdom is there, above the clouds
and some night I may dream once again
of silver stairs and a young knight of old
If I could live there. Let the dream begin!
