Isle of Dreams

Is there anyone here
who could let me in?

I stand as an outsider,
in the rain,
despite years of toil
to get accepted into
the various dreams I weaved,
saving some as songs,
many more as visions of grandeur,
and nightmares to bore my soul.

They let me breathe in my sleep​.​
​The deep sighs
whistle through the stale air
over my bed,
like the breeze at a beach
carrying the salt ​of my existence
to an isle afar​ where
proud n loud neon billboards​ scream​.

Free entry for all, they say,
but caution: Kids at play!
