Midnight Stroll

dreaming is dreary

I swore I woke mid-night
and went for a walk
without knowing where
my feet would not stop
my voice wouldn't talk

I tied a string to a star
so I'd get off track
it took me so far
it had to head back

So I let go
and let myself wander
I walked through time alone
I had to peer farther

The moon grew jealous
that I was having more fun
So it fell out of spite
and woke me with the sun
