Dreamers--By Lynn White, Wales, UK

Dreamers

The sun is standing still for them

Standing still for the streams of dreamers.

Dreamers streaming down the roads to somewhere else.

From somewhere that has become nowhere.

Dreaming of escape.

Dreaming of a future, any future.

Dreaming of the life they once had.

Dreaming of normality, whatever that means.

Dreaming of returning

when the sun comes up again, if ever it does.
