Please Join Me In My Dreams

Come and go away with me
and join me in this fantasy
to distant lands beyond the clouds
where we can share a life so free. 

no storm clouds looming to disrupt
no one close by to interrupt
just you and me beneath the stars
as solitude let’s life erupt

beneath the stars we’ll spend the night
while bathing in the moon’s pale light
just clinging close until the morn
enjoying moments of delight

and in the morn a bright sun rise
as purple pink lights up the skies
the morning mist lifts in the air
revealing beauty to our eyes 

into the air the sea gulls soar
and wing their way along the shore
just floating on the ocean breeze
we’ll soar with them for evermore

the ocean breeze blows in our hair
our skin sun kissed, our feet are bare
our footprints in the pure white sand
while strolling on a beach so fair

on pure white sand by ocean blue
beneath clear skies our lives renew
as all our worries fade away
we’ll spend forever just we two

so won’t you come away with me 
and join me in this fantasy
to distant lands beyond the stars
where we can live forever free.

"beyond the clouds" Moments are magical. In so many amazing ways. Just sayin', my dear friend. Anything is possible in a Dream, or in a Fantasy. This is so beautiful and romantic. Your thoughts bring a smile. :) Brandy

Moments are always magical in our fantasies, B, perhaps that is why they are called fantasies. If only real life was that easy. All the best to you my dear friend. Hugs, John
