Starlight Sleepwalk

God takes my hand and shows me
where the moon used to be;
I find my dreams tell me
to touch what lies feet away. But
no, must keep my distance...
 
I walk in the night
and find myself
surrounded by falling dreams, wishing stars
burning as angels whisper nursery rhymes
to heal the brokenhearted, it all lies
before me,
So much pain.

I find my dreams tell me
to touch what lies feet away.
The desire to love is blundered,
And many people turn away 
with their hands burned
trying to touch the sun
in their dream for better days,
 
I watch friends and loved ones in pain,
and soon the desire to touch morphs to dust,
knocked down by what’s real and not
gently nestle the ground and stare
 
at fallen dreams over the horizon.
He runs and catches them since
 
He knows their name. A tear falls
while the night’s breeze tucks me in
to sleep under the wishes of so many.

From my bed, I watch the stars
falling, streaking past my window.
I almost see myself running
to tell them
that it’ll be okay, whoever you are.
 
The night blurs by with every wish
feeling helpless, I can’t reach them all.
But I can pray for the dawn
 
that is coming. Finally, He will
Rescue us in time. He tells me
that it’ll all be okay, rest
in the breeze of peace.
