The Land of Liberty

Dust fell upon my face; A soft touch from the sandman Light faded away with the night's lace, The sun knelt with a last, weak scan Stars embroidered the sky, Leaves of sheets fell upon the clouds The cold pervaded through the crowd Stillness stood by A delicate texture touched my hair As it pulled me into its arms The texture of the warm pillow's charm Fighting it I wouldn't dare Gently, my eyelashes touched, Peacefuly, they hugged Slowly, my eyes closed As I drifted into a land untouched Silence knocked on my door Displaying scenes I have never seen Flashes of light showed on the screen One single touch would allow me to explore Shall I dare and touch to enter and explore this land? Can I handle anything I shall face? Fear crept into my courageous brace Yet, the sword of excitement was strongly held in my hand I shall dare and enter this land I shall dare and dream For it is a land with a unique gleam It is a land where spirits shall be freed Dream is a reflection of what some feel It is a cure where some wounds are healed But, it be a monster awaiting to be released To scare its passenger; awaking them with a squeal Now the courageous shall supreme For who dares and enters possesses a brave heart Tearing every speck of fear apart Ruling the land of dreams.... And so the land of liberty Dares every creature To enter its surprising features Observing those who shall face their hidden destiny....
