• Dreaming to the beat
    of the rain
    dancing
    on the backs of the naked streets,
    as one
    by
    one
    they all joined in with the harmony
    of a million strong.

    As the rhythm went on
    several
    weeks long,
    the water rose and streets went down.

    Have I been asleep this whole while?

    Then dawn bore a sun
    and I woke
    to find
    my bed floating on an ocean of song.
    As inch
    by
    inch
    the current breathed a beautiful chorus,
    I lay and listen.

    The tide went calm
    several
    weeks long,
    the water guided my dreams sound.

    Have I been asleep this whole while?

    The river washed me
    to the sea,
    and swiftly
    the gentle tide was replaced by something angry,
    as wave
    by
    wave
    the water crashed upon my bed.
    Beneath the covers, I hid.

    The storm screamed fierce
    for what
    seemed like years,
    I was soon led too far from any-
    where I could have imagined myself
    to be-
    until I have been forced from my com-
    fortable space and pushed out to sea,
    as I search for signs of land or some-
    thing
    at least
    familiar.
    I never wanted to be home so badly.

    Laying in my bed,

    looking out my window,

    and…

    Dreaming to the beat
    of the rain
    dancing
    on the backs of the naked streets,
    as one
    by
    one
    they all joined in with the harmony
    of a million strong.

    As the rhythm went on
    several
    weeks long,
    the water rose and streets went down.
    The water rose and streets went down.
    The water rose and streets went down.
    The water rose and streets went down.
