Endless Dreams

I dreamt an endless dream;
I dreamt my dreams had ceased.

I dreamt the darkest dream;
I dreamt of blinding light.

I dreamt I was a fool;
I dreamt that I was wise.

I dreamt I spoke in tongues;
I dreamt I found the Words.

I dreamt I lost it all;
I dreamt of victory.

I dreamt all was forgot;
I dreamt I knew it all.

I dreamt my life away;
I dreamt my dreams were true.

I dreamt I met life’s end;
I dreamt it just began.

I dreamt that I was lost;
I dreamt of being found.
