It's Been A Long Night's Dream

It's those seconds that matter the most. The seconds in between dreaming & waking; the ones in which your dream's melody starts to fade out as silence fades in until it echoes no more; the ones in which the faces of your dream start to dissolve beneath your eyelids, wash out until they vanish into thin air; the ones in which your dream born emotions begin to fleet away from you heading back to their fantasy world. Hold on to them, grab gently but firmly for maybe, just maybe someday they'll pull you there awake.
