On the Edge of a Dream

I laid me down in peace and slept
And found with pure unfeigned surprise
A land of bliss before my eyes;
Then from my eyes this vision swept
So there I lay and softly wept

How beautiful to dream.Whenever im sad i dream myself away and am happy again..If you wake up to find yourself weeping..Close your eyelids and travel again to that wonderful land..Maybe then you can write another poem and share what you saw there on the land of bliss¿¿°
