And in the swirling sea of emptiness I called out your name And the words seemed to crumble Into powdery dust And disolve away. The swirling stars made me feel drunk As I wondered where you were How to get to you Past this chaos. Why you came to mind I'm not sure. Wouldn't God Be a much wiser choice? And when I fell back Into this sea of blankets I reached for you Instead of thinking to thank God It was only a dream. I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man. |

Thank you QjQ and passing shadows!!!!  I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man. |
