Dreams, Open Wide
Soothing silence,
faint whisper of wind,
such calm,
as I sit beneath shady palm
I close my eyes ,
feeling warmth on my face,
relaxed sigh,
this is my place
For the job is done,
my sleep has come,
my dreams begun
I drift away,
book falls to my side,
my dreams open wide
my mind ready to play
I travel far
to my blue sparkling star
many miles of space
crossed in an instant,
no sense of pace
A sparkle of blue
and you can see it too
For you and I,
dreams open wide,
cross the divide
For dreams are good,
take you far and wide,
but poorly understand
Enjoy the ride
The journeys I take
in the infinity of my mind
are one of a kind
that I make
No such thing
as the impossible dream
All can happen it seems,
become a bird on the wing
These clouds swirl below
slowly turning
not far to go
This earthly release,
my dream
For I am at peace
This limitless space
My dream takes me far
Dark world below,
ahead sparkling star
not far to go,
This freedom of thought
and mind
overcomes feelings I have sought
Travelling far
to find
blue sparkling star
