| Dreamscape Last night I followed a unicorn into the Realm of Dreams, where magic floats upon the air, and nothing is as it seems, I made myself fairy small in my curiosity, a new perspective in a new world is what I wished to see, I rode naked on the wings of a brilliant butterfly, who I caught and leapt onto as she was passing by, We fluttered over fields and among the leaves of trees, chasing moths and fireflies or in pursuit of fairies, And I slid along the petals of the white moonflower, when we passed over that milky midnight bower, Then we finally landed where enchantment is born, and I stood on the tip of a unicorn's horn. I waved farewell and spiraled down that shaft of light, as the wondrous unicorn began prancing in the night, I returned to my true size and leapt into the sky, I caught a shooting star as it was passing by, and then I braided it into the unicorn's mane, where it glistened clearly like a crystalline chain, A pegasus swooped down to become my next steed, and again from my own wingless weight I was freed, We flew among clouds floating in heavenly blue, and I leapt off, wrapping myself in a rainbow's hue, I trailed the bright colors behind me like a banner, landing on my mount once more, we soared on in this manner, We pierced through the firmament, now among celestials, I dismounted from my wing�d steed to join in cosmic festivals, I danced among the stars and slid down the moon's bow, And when I left I skipped along it's luminary glow, The moonlight led me through a scintillating stellar ocean, and guided me to earth with smooth gliding motion, Now I have sung with sylphs of the air and sirens by the sea, I dove one time with dolphins who swirled in play with me, I have ridden on sea horses, delicate but grand, who swam me through the ocean and back to the land. I have waited at night, when none were awake, for the swan-maidens to alight on their secret lake, I have watched them shed their cloaks of feathery wings, and danced with them, unclad, while the nightingale sings, I have dozed with the unicorn in meadows fresh and fair, and strung nameless magical flowers into his and my hair, I have kissed enchantment and been charmed for eternity, I have reveled in Elysium and embraced a fantasy, I have listened enraptured to the music of the fairy folk, and kept its harmonies with me since the time that I awoke, Remembering that blessed realm, I cannot help but laugh, knowing that my feet have touched the mystical moon-path. |
