My World

Some nights 
I ascend into a world where only I reside. 
Gorgeous sights,
Vibrant colors,
This might just be my paradise.

I run free. 
No worries, 
No queries,
No fears.
My mind feels forever clear. 

A place where I embrace the wind on my face 
And the chill of the breeze
As I fly pass the beautiful palm trees. 

The sense of freedom manifests my body. 
I believe no one can stop me. 
No one can soar as smooth or gracefully.
This is my kingdom,
A sanctuary where I can truly be original.

Light as a feather.
No stormy or bad weather.
Just the peaceful rays of a sunny day. 

I descend back to the delicate earth.
Lay in the field of green, 
Feeling the soft grass on my back. 
Taking in all of splendor that 
Radiates from this world I have built for myself.

I close my eyes, 
And then hesitation surfaces. 
When they open, 
I am back into the actuality of the universe we all know, 
Reality.
