Reality Check

Your falling, through the clouds White velvet strokes your skin Weightless, wondering..wistful Is this dreaming, can you tell? Gazing at the prism lights And winged creatures passing by A cat with garnet whiskers Is this dreaming, can you tell? A unicorn whispers in your ear Veils of golden eiderdown Drinking nectar from a scallop shell Is this dreaming, can you tell? Reality or dreaming? Can you tell? Do you really want to know? A lovely place, just your own…. It really doesn’t matter.

This is truly vivid I love the part about falling through the clouds and weightless oh wow. I don't think it matters if it is dreaming or reality as long as one is happy to be there. It sounds like a beautiful place to be. Smiles from Lolita
