Open door I see

When I think, inside a dream, I am awake in body
My mind is asleep , away from the here and now
I may be dreaming awake
The door closed shut, I can't see you
I see nothing but the thoughts inside my head
Twirling around
To dream and think, to not be in the present moment
Wherever that may be.
When the back door of my mind opens up, to think
Outside the box, my imagination is
Not here certainly; my dreams awake come naturally
They can dream of dragons, they can dream of fear, they can dream
Of you, in another time, in another dimension
Another place, one that doesn't exist, anywhere except my dreams 
Perhaps one where things happen differently, one choice different may lead
To infinite possibilities
We have great control, over our own paths, in reality
But dreaming awake affords times and places, anyplace imagination will take us
Just a set of thoughts strung together, they form a story, a picture, a movie
A whole new place aside from  the dreariness of everyday we face
A joke can happen, then you laugh inside your head
I tell a story to myself that only I can hear, that only I can see
My mind is full of visions of memories, that only I have ever seen
Intrigued and enlightened, sometimes
When the time is right, to lay around a dream
Wherever I am, I know, I can go inside my mind
And find a place of dreams
