Dreams have no control.

It’s not possible for us

To control Weather, seasons, or dust
Autumn is on its way
And brings many a rainy day.
But knowing your kind
and your presence of mind

You’ll let not either Autumn or winter

inside.

During those darkest times

Simply draw the blinds

Sleep well thru the night

Knowing

around you is bright

Your source of beauty and light

Is in your dreams

Cling to those dreams
this autumn please

Let your own guiding light

Keep this fact in sight

    We have no control over dreams, but that’s great, since they sneak in and provide us joy, nevertheless — is that what you mean?
