DREAMLAND...

“All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.” ― Edgar Allan Poe

dreamland

Dreamland...

Floating on clouds
drifting through space
transcending all barriers
of this misguided place

Releasing all tensions
expanding hungry minds
embracing all the beauty
that we've all left behind

Conquering countless demons
that take refuge deep inside
slaying all those dragons
with such courage and pride

Imagination takes hold
and whisks us through time
befriending the past --
the hurdles that we climb

Deep in the darkness
where true light is born
our spirit takes flight
with all the grace it adorns

Shrouded in mysteries
before we can rise
falling from great heights
while escaping our demise

Breaking down walls
that are meant to confine
releasing pent up tensions
searching for a sign

Laying to rest
the remains of the day
unleashing the desires
we're taught to push away

Daring to dream
what we run from each day
triumphant in victories
when we normally shy away

Trusting in dreams
confronting the unknown
storming the castle
defending your throne

The weight of our lives
can be hard to withstand
so we lay down each night
…and visit dreamland.
