I stand within

I stand within the realm of sleep
All around me people weep

I walk among them asking why
But all they do is look and sigh

They stand and chat and be polite
Smile and say "it will be alright"

I smell the flowers, hear the sound
Of music drifting all around

It gets so loud, it's so intense
No one hears it makes no sense

No one seems to hear but me
Why can't the smell why can't they see

As I look around there faces sad
I am confused inside I'm glad

A need to shout and sing out loud
I feel I'm walking on a cloud

I hear my name, it's softly said
They smile and whisper, "shame he's dead"
