dear little dreamer

dear little dreamer,
you have never really been
from this world

always lost
in your head

always alone
with your thoughts

dreaming of
everything in this world
and beyond

thousands of bright colors
millions of times more beautiful
than these dirty, gray walls

all these beautiful sensations
rushing through you
but no one
to share them with

just one wish
echoing back and forth
“escape”
escape

from the horrible loneliness
just outside your head

dear little dreamer,
now you are safely resting
among the stars

may we guide each other
silently
until we are finally
reunited again

thank you, grandpa.
