Teachers of Waking Dreams

By Isz

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Oh teachers in my waking dreams I called to you as a child to teach me All the lessons of the world To make me wiser then those around me But I the human world this knowledge failed I am told I am wise be many Many from all over the world But this knowledge came at a price You did warn me my dear teachers And I know I said I could take it But I yield I am to mortal For in this vessel I am not as strong Please stop the torture Bring me into the light In which I stood when I first asked you This old wise man is to wise for his wishes I don't want to learn more about pain Or the sorrow that blankets this world Let me lose myself in the daydreams Those dreams that everyone uses to get by Day by day the problems they don't see Take back my gifts if in turn you will let me smile If you will let me love And be loved in return I give up my wisdom free to you teachers Everything from knowledge of the magic energies To the abilities to read dreams so clearly Even down to my dreams of things not past Take it all away If in the end I am happy with my love Take it all away By: Isz Written January 11th, 2002 © on Jan 11 2002 05:02 AM PST   0 • 1
