We Live Out Our Days From Within a Dream

We live out our days from within a dream.
Behind collective masks, our freedom lies.
The masked world presents an intoxicating scene.

So many people this world they deem
to be all they know; materialistic sighs.
we live out our days from within a dream.

Decay and death weave through the theme,
branches like wizened jewels to steal our prize.
The masked world presents an intoxicating scene.

Life’s true mystery holds sights unseen,
we are star children, whirling through the skies.
We live out our days from within a dream.

Like dancing marionettes we scheme,
while whole worlds exist behind our eyes.
We live out our days from within a dream;
the masked world presents an intoxicating scene.

Author: Story

Writer, occasional artist, hippie, Reiki healer and lover of nature. I love the absurd, the strange, the beautiful, the sublime. I love what happens when humans allow themselves to be Real, when the light pours through the cracks. I'm a fan of Wabi-sabi, imagination, candlelight, stars, humour, magic. I love to read stories that break down barriers, reminding us of the sheer magic of simply being alive. If I can ever touch anyone through my writing, I am deeply grateful to be able to do so, because to me, the act of writing alone isn't complete until it's been read.
