I will fly away, on a feathered ride
Disguise myself, so I can hide
Leave the turmoil, journey where
Golden suns caress my hair,
Fill my lungs with fragrant air,
Hoping I can find me there
Cast my worries to the side
As tranquility and I collide

She walks along the gravel road
Pens and pencils in her pack
Hoping she can find her way
Trepidation, don’t look back
A wooden desk marks her place
In a classroom down the hall
Step by step she makes her way
To a teacher, standing tall
She smiles and says good morning
As she enters in the room
The smile is not returned to her
She feels impending doom
She sits next to the window
The one without a drape
Wishing she was left outside,
She plots the great escape
Why did she leave the confort
Of her warm and comfy house?
She should have stayed in bed all day
As quiet as a mouse
Yet, here she is, regretting
This place, so full of strife
Locked inside the hallowed halls
She is ‘present’, in the school of life

It is quite surreal
Just how you feel
Drifting off to sleep
Catching yourself
Floating away
Into a slumber deep
Beginning to dream
Drowning out noise
Into much quieter spaces
Lifting you there
On gossamer wings
To very faraway places
Sailing along with
The moon and the stars
Deflecting the time that goes by
Wandering freely
Where no one can see thee
Lost in the blackening sky

Escape with me
To worlds unknown
Into the forest mist
Along the path
Of guiding trees
That color gently kissed
To a place
Where specters rule
And spirits run so free
Along the path
Your destiny awaits
In shrouded mystery
Do not fear
The road ahead
All is not what it seems
Along the path
You journey now
Awakening your dreams
