Midnight

There once was a princess
named Midnight
Who’s eyes shined
like the palest moonlight

Midnight lived in a dark forest
in a far away land
She walked through the trees
The cool leaves brushing her hands

She was searching for her dreams
Which she had lost in her sleep

Because every time she woke
She would forget her dreams and weep

Night after night
she roamed the green land
Searching for a cure,
until finally
she could not stand

Her dreams were different that night
Lucid and real
All the colors were there
red, purple and teal

Yellow said let go
Green said just breath
Red said touch your heart
And purple said just believe

She woke up that morning
With a smile on her face

As she finally realized
dreams don’t come
when you chase.
