Dreamworld

Rest your head against the warm wood
And spiral into the dream world of sleep
On the spiral staircase that takes you there
You soft haired creature
Step along candy sidewalks
And candy cane crosswalks
And dance in the petunia scented courtyards
In the gardens of a seaside town
Drink in the sweet orange nectar
Of mango fruits and other sweet things
And suckle on honeysuckle
In the shade of a willow tree
Dip your toes in the water of a lake
With moonlight shining across the surface
And feel the naked chill of bare toes in cool water
Cool water as deep as the deepest ocean

Slide away into another land
Where seas of rain pour down in curtains across a summer world
Warm rain, wet rain, fat raindrops sloshing against the side of your wet curly haired face
As you splash through the puddles like a demon god
On the earth to revel and thrive
Walk along the wooden boardwalk
With the dark blue sky of dusk painted above the sea
And the reflection of lights shining in the water
Find soft nougat
And walk along with your eyes shining bright
And breathe in happy
As you sleep away the night
