Countless times I’ve seen your face,

both in the planes of wake and dream;

but upon trying to recall do I forget,

like your memories were never in hand.

From my mind, away they flow like water.

Oh, how I wish to remember all the rest.



Only in your air can I find rest.

While parting is an act I cannot face

alone—we ebb and flow like water

beating upon the barren shores of dream.

Somehow, I wish you would take my hand;

keep me in a dream I won’t soon forget.



Please, I beg you to help me forget

about my world and all its unrest.

Grant me asylum, help me escape, hand

me bliss. When I see the wear on my face,

that is when I wish to enter your dream.

Invigorate me with your soothing water.



The tides of thought have churned this water

far more than I can manage. Do not forget

that it was I who risked to dream

you; I who needed and deserved to rest

Pray tell that you never shall lose face

as we sail these chaotic seas hand in hand.



If I could, I’d gladly ask for your hand

in marriage. We’d be wed upon water

that no man nor dreamer ever dared face.

And once I’m with you, I shall forget

that I only would meet with you to rest.

Soon, I shall become part of this dream.



No one shall rouse me from this dream

of ours. And as they lift my hand,

they would see that I have come to rest.

Their swollen eyes birth beads of water.

But in time they shall learn to forget

everything that I have made them face



Enter the dream to drown in its water.

I’ll hold your hand so you never forget

to forever rest as the world forgets your face.
