In quiet night
I silently dreamed
That I could see for miles around

Amidst a garden
Full of clouds
I could barely see the ground

Above the mountains
But below the sky
I await the silent dawn

I sit and stare
And begin to smile
As then I start to yawn

Sleepily I lay
Upon a cloud
Thats floating up in the sky

I twist and turn
Ay my fading vision
My dream begins to die

Again I awake
Amongst the clouds
To the sounds of noisy grunts

To my alarm
I'm standing on
The shoulders of giants



 Better to die, and sleep
The never-waking sleep, than linger on
And dare to live when the souls life is gone.

Ooohh...I liked the "dreaminess" in this during the first part, but you kind of lost me at the end!  LOL  I have some blonde highlights, so I'm gonna blame it on that!  ROFL      Interesting though to say the least!     You're very good at portraying the "dreamy" parts!  LOL
