A Story And A Dream

By Todd Raphael

The Difference between

A story and a dream

Can you imagine

Things aren't what they seem

Striking fear into the minds

of each and every player

Then tried to lift the cloud

By faking a prayer.

Quietly the left into

The shadows of their lier

The dying of the light

Is the death they awoke

And that which costs us peace

Also loses some hope

They wondered why

They weren't in the picture

Having to do with

How they treated her

And though their temper

WIll never quench

The darkness

Inside It hides

The bell tolled, half passed 12

To forget what she denied!

It's all good

Just depends on

where she looked.

Forgave them all

For the ideas they mistook.

The Apothecary lied

He offered the remedy

His soul a barren desert

Left behind prosperity

We can't be together

But in our hearts

We'll live on forever

They wondered why

They weren't in the picture

Having to do with

How they treated her

And though their temper

WIll never quench

The darkness

Inside It hides

The bell tolled, half passed 12

To forget what she denied!
