A Place I Go When I Sleep

Where I Go When I Sleep
When I close my eyes I travel to the land where the lion roams and roars the night away. 
Where monkey’s travel from limb to limb and frequently beat their chests to show the mighty 
spirit.

A place where I ride an elephant across the land and wave
At the hippos covered in mud to cool and protect their skin.

Where I can shake my khaki hips to the jungle beat
In my bare feet, a place where I can grunt instead of speak.
A place where pink dolphins frolic and squeak.

A place where even I can afford to eat. 
That’s where I go when I sleep.

The Time Traveler

If you could travel back though time
What are the things you'd change?
Would you undo those things were done
Or just simply rearrange?

Would you make it so your heart don't break
In relationships that just don't last?
What would you make your future
If you could travel to your past?

Would you carry words of wisdom
For those tomorrows not yet come?
Would you be a guiding light to those
Who's lost or troublesome?

Would you tell them of the things you've seen
As you visit yesterday?
Or you tell them of the things to come
Just to take their breath away?

Would you share an important message 
Maybe of Love, Peace or Joy?
Or are you searching to seek revenge
On a life you would destroy?

We know not what tomorrow brings
And yesterday we've seen before
But the best we have is Deja vu
To feel our past once more
