The dream is a special power we mammals possess
We enter lands of wonder and surprise
Pleasure and stress
Discovery and cries
But once we finish the dream
We cannot restart that age
Like someone has mashed some cream
All over our favourite page
Like there has been a robbery
Of what really occurred
We never see it properly
Our view has been blurred
It doesn’t matter if you're really clever
The dream is simply, gone forever
