Oblivious of Faith

once I wished upon a star
I fell asleep and dreamed of far
far away where no one knows my name
where being me is simple
not some game
I woke- I thought to a world so bright
where every thought I had was light
the sun winked down at me from above
and while I slept I found love
I didn't know what a wonderland I had found
in my head that was spinning round
all that happened finally made sense
it was perfection - to the greatest extent
I flew above the houses and trees
in my dream I could finally see
the reason for me
I was finally free
my fingers brushed along the boughs of furs and pines
through vines and mines I flew
until I had seen the whole world and knew
that what I saw wasn't true
I missed my sorrow
strange as it seems cause in my sorrow
I felt pain
and from pain you learn
and without it you can't feel the consequence of a flame
just like the burn you get from something hot--you then learn not to touch
pain gives me memory and I learn not to make
the same mistakes
that I hid from
in this dream
a dream of perfection is what I woke from and relief I felt to be back with reality
I woke up with understaning and apprreciation and now as I tell this I send you a hug because if not for you I would still be asleep
away in my dream land
oblivious of faith

-you might not understand that and don't worry I didn't at first but as I wrote it well when I finished it I realized....you can never know there is something better if you've never felt it or heard of it-
