Joseph Tanner - DreamCatcher

Slaves of the night,
Take a nap.
Hot milk rested my fight,
Pillow talk through my dreams.
Dreamcatcher swings over my head,
Catching the raven that sweeps low into my mind.
Cries from another world take me back,
Voices are heard,
Wizards are at play,
Wisdoms have thrown out the book.
Sleepless wonders fill the head,
The jester lost his head long ago.
Dreamcatcher won’t you take these wonders?
That keep me from sleep.
I don’t want to write a million dollar fantasy.
Work your magic,
Before they take me tonight.
I‘m losing my fight,
I’m not an insomniac.
I’ll earn my bread and butter in the real world,
I’m no Hanzel and Gretel,
Gingerbread houses and wicked old ladies,
That take children away.
Screaming through worlds,
Without a soul to hear,
Never waking from sleep.
