Survival

What am I for, if not to write?
What else helps me sleep at night?

When there isn't a ticket in my hand,
A book is where I find that new land,

The world is a heavy weight to bare,
But my bookshelf, I can escape there,

To dream a world of buttercups,
Rainbow raindrops and Dalmatian pups,
Ride the backs of dragons and centaurs,
Now that is one of my favourite tours,
Over sand-dunes and talk to mice,
Little teardrops will just turn to ice,
A forgotten heart can feel again,
Learn of other loves, other men,
Blackened mind weary of the everyday,
Now here she is, out to play.

Cloud Dreaming.

Tracing clouds along the sky, 'Try to catch me, just you try!' Were I a bird, I'd fly up there, Plunge through cloud, live on a dare.

Dream On

In a fog swamped road that has no end. Of make believe and let's pretend. Where pigs may fly and a unicorn sings. Of battle cries and magical things. The sky is the limitless point to start.
