GODS

Voiceless voices
Thoughtless thoughts
I've always had these dreams, the same as last night
Those same figures of men, dancing to the tune of no music
Those rhythmless rhythms, yet their dance steps always have the same moves, their smiles never seem to stop appearing, those grins of victory
Then their mouth starts moving, singing songs without voicing it out
For hours they dance, never signs of tiredness
Then one walked up to me, smiling, then said
Why not join in the dance
Why not join in the dance
And back he went, back to his dance of merriment

The waves allowed them to move without stress, the willingness in their eyes made me wonder and ponder, mesmerized I started dancing, dancing the dance of those men, unknown men
Then my mouth started mumbling, but I couldn't hear myself, yet I sang a song of great merriment
A song of joy, aloud I sang cause it made them dance, with those smiles that could raise a dead man, they danced the more like mad men, without sorrows, not minding tomorrow dancing under the scorching sun
I could see their teeth so white, even whiter than snow, their eyes brighter than that of day, their happiness knew no bond, and dance I did, not wanting ever to stop
All of a sudden they stopped, looked at me and smiled the more
The elder among them stepped closer to me, patting me on the shoulder, and said... My son
You've watched us dance in amazement, seen us smile without reason, yet in your confusion you joined...danced, danced, danced
Danced the dance without rhythm, cause it's always in your heart, that happy moment, those unforgettable days, the time you realize that you have nothing to lose anymore
Go he said my son go
Your wish has been fulfilled, your days ahead better, your dreams have conquered your fear, the unknown now known
Cause you've danced like a mad man, danced the dance of the gods with the gods
Go my son, go
Just then I woke up, into my known tomorrow, just then my days got better
