Dreamland
Twilight turns into a thick black velvet blanket,
Enrobing the senses as through Dreamland we transit.
We are adrift, the limits of everyday life lifted.
Stranded in this passage, with dispelled disbelief we are gifted.
It’s a topsy-turvy world wherein our mind,
Ill fitting scenes doth entwine and unwind.
Solving problems, emoting or visiting souls who’ve passed,
Both observer and observed, at once are we cast.
We’re off balance, trying to keep from nightmares,
From fear, anxiety or intoxicating freedom beyond what we dare.
Expansively time traveling, flying vast distances, although
Marveling at the passing Dreamland below.
Daylight dawns amid dissolving dreams.
Both perplexed and refreshed, as we face sunbeams.
Thirsting for tattered tendrils signifying solace.
Resisting gently, we are beached onto consciousness.
How amazing mortals by light are transformed.
As a seamless switch between parallel worlds is performed.
Adding adventure to even hum drum everyday life,
Our passage through twilight to daylight is rarely without strife.
