Dreamer

He stands there , alone in the corner.

Wondering about what goes through his mind.

You’ve never seen him before,

But somehow you know him.

Now quiet and restless ,

He begins to scribble on the wall.

He is perceptible,

Yet , invisible.

Mumbling to himself,

You move in closer and try to make out his words.

Until suddenly he turns around ,

And with his luring eyes , a spell has been cast upon you.

You’ve been mystified and awakened from your slumbering state.

Now you recognize his familiar face ,

Now you understand the scribbling on the walls,

As the ruling of the mighty lord shuns him from society

And the responsibility of the world

Is weighed on his shoulders.

You now open your eyes ,

For you see ,

He is not a child ,

Or a man ,

He is but ,

A dreamer.
