Dreams

I close my eyes
As I let my dreams
Take me to a place
Where things are not what they seem

Here lilies are red
Roses are blue
The clouds are pink
And the grass - a purple hue

This is the land
Where all your dreams come true
The only place
Where imagination is not an issue

Over here you can ride on dragonflies
And live in blades of grass
You can cut up the night sky
And the moon reappears as glass

Amongst all the fruit cakes
And the cherry stars
Lies a chocolate lake
Beneath the toffee cars

Here, no one knows
Here, no one cares
You can do anything -
Like colouring the empty air

Here is the place
Where the world does not exist
This is our world
Where you can create as you list

This is the world
Where ostriches fly
Where dreams come true;
Where there are purple clouds in pink skies.
