Exploration In Our Dreams

Dreams, an entryway to celestial exploration
Out of body we penetrate through meditation
The subconscious rises to visit lost loved ones 
With star smiles that through seams of heaven run

Ladies squander lifetimes hoping for a ring
Travel to Saturn, who’ll share at our bidding
Deposit feelings of anger at the red planet
Mars absorbs them like a powerful magnet

Come dance with me through the galaxies
Hover far above Earth’s narrow balconies
We’ll tip our hats to the life-giving suns
Leave star-kissed blessings where the Milky Way runs

Let us soar through the Horsehead Nebula
Stare, bright lights can’t scar a dreamer’s retina
Are you prepared to journey with me
To worlds that charge no admission fee

The universe opens doors as we leave Earth’s land
But only the subconscious can explore first-hand
Until the day we can exceed the speed of light
We behold all these wonders in the mystery of night

And if we are lucky to enter heaven’s gate
With loves of the past we may conjugate


*For Barbara's "For Heaven's Sake" challenge
