a happy place
in my dreams there is happiness
there are cities and rooms
without a place for emptiness
where nobody looms
in the dark caves of loneliness
there are trolls and dragons
with hearts carved of gold
there are trains with endless waggons
harbouring more treasures than the world can hold
in my dreams there is happiness
chests and vaults full of smiles
rivers and streams glitter with loveliness
and laughs are heaped in piles
and I don‘t want to wake up
at dawn
endless moments in murky silence
the stage of daylight being build
a scenery of endless living
the whims of fate still unfulfilled
the hands of gods will soon tell stories
still yet their time has yet to come
the empty seconds between pieces
we‘ll web into a lonely song
the costumes we will soon put on
are now still to be made
now is the time to think about
the role we will create
