It was a dream within a dream

I looked out the window Sometimes to seek the color of the shadows But when I got ready to paint Just closed my eyes All that I could see or seem It was a dream within a dream I dared to be wrong Dreaming permits each and every one of us To look at the hidden occurrences in our soul Like a telescope through galaxies From that way my soul is writing about myself Dreams behind dreams Dreams pass into the reality of action From the action stems the dream again Dreams say what my worlds mean My dreams to interpret my life In forming a bridge between body and mind The path is to the deepest peace of mind So I seized upon the long winter’s evening Let myself to the beauty of my dreams That I descended the tower of the soul Its endless thorough dreams from The heart of the subconscious
