I opened my eyes and wiped away the sleep.
I had just awoke from a horrible dream.
I looked around and saw nothing but sky.
Looking down, I found myself on a bed of white.
How did I get here? I do not know.
But a feeling inside assured me I was home.
A bird flew by and looked confused,
He asked "What are you doing here? The sky is not for you."
I said I didn't know. I just woke up in this place.
Without saying a word he just flew away.
I laid there in wonder, unsure of what was next.
Am I stuck here forever? Is this my end?
And then a voice spoke, softly but sure,
It said "This is where your head's been for what some would call years."
I didn't understand. What could that mean?
Is this real? Is this still a dream?
I sat straight up on top of this cloud.
Where did that voice come from? I was the only soul around.
I heard nothing but the wind in the air.
I was consumed by the vast blue and my mind went bare.
Suddenly, I felt that something was terribly wrong.
The cloud that was under me had broken and gone.
The sky went dark and the voice spoke again.
"Don't worry dear, this is not the end.
You’re not going insane, you haven’t been awake"
And slowly, I fell along with the rain.


I opened my eyes and wiped away the sleep.
I had just awoke from a life changing dream.
