Lotus

Lotus

Hello, dreamer,
Why have you come?
Now, speak-
Don't stand dumb.

Well, dreamer,
what is it now?
A lost coffin,
or a golden cow?

No, dreamer?
Is it someone, dead?
Perhaps a lover
or a savior instead?

... what, dreamer?
Did I hear thee?
thou hast come...
for me?

Poor, dreamer,
I am but a dream!
I am both soothing
and damning scream

Stop, dreamer,
You know not
these consequences
and cannot.

Seek, dreamer!
Quick, look away!
Glance again,
and always you'll stay

Run, dreamer!
Use your wits-
Think, pray, Live!
Not just stare and sit.

Move, dreamer,
leave your bliss!
Do you not want
more than this?

Breath, dreamer!
Don't die yet!
There's still more
than death and regret!

Please, dreamer,
Don't you see?
I love you, dreamer,
but you must flee

Leave, dreamer!
I will survive
I'll rest easy,
Knowing you're alive

No! Dreamer!
Please wake up!
Don't eat that bread
nor drink that cup

Alas, dreamer
again I am alone
as you sit and dream
turning softly to stone.
