Dial

I dreamed my perspective was on a dial

Wired to spare me from my will

I saw my world so dimly lit I felt my heart fainting

within

And I was relieved to find how freely

To subdue the most immersive blue

And if I wake under a sky weighed down

By clouds of ashen gray

Let me will the dial to turn and gild the air

With silver pearls of rain

I dreamed my perspective was on a dial

Wired to spare me from this will

That saw my world so dimly lit I felt my heart fainting

within

And I was relieved
