Your turn to dream

face the wind
that howls through your mind
tears you down

face the sun
that melts your tears
defy its glare
never look away

face the god
that created you
prove that you are made of bones
and burning flesh

look ahead
at your sunset
look above
at the sky
to your left
all your conquests,
all your losses
to your right
they weigh down your shoulders
and pin down your tongue

look behind you
find me standing there
waiting
that's where I'll always be

face the world
and its sea of voices
that rush like waves
through your ears

rise above the shadows
rise above the waters
rise above yourself
become a spirit of the sky

spread your wings
and open your eyes
this is your turn to dream
and smile in your sleep
