I sit on the roof, staring into the endless stories of the skyThe stars sparkle in their clusters, glowing with an almost ethereal light
The ocean in the sky opens its arms, as I float up
I drift with my eyes wide open, floating from constellation to constellation
Their stories unfold, immortalized in the skies
The trees are lit by the moon, shining benevolently down at the earth
I drift through the sky, gazing down at everything
Ancient forests rise from the ground, the trees standing stark against the landscape
Animals all around are at peace; packs, herds and lones alike
Wolves howl up a greeting, my face slips into a fleeting smile
The ground swoops away, as a cliff comes into view
I dive towards the ground, reveling in the speed and exhilaration of flight
Mountains loom in the distance, somehow menacing and majestic at the same moment
They rise out of the ground, dwarfing anything else near
An ocean shines in the distance, a silver disk reflected off the surface
Waves lap gently at the shore and dolphins chirp happily as they swim along
I dive
Down, deep down to the floor
The sand feels cool between my toes, and the water around me gleams and ripples around every movement
Starfish cling to rocks, abandoned shells litter the sand, and kelp dances in the water
Down there everything seems slower, time more liquid
The light plays along the bottom in entrancing patterns
I swim up towards the surface, face pointed skywards
I rise higher, and higher, until I can touch the cotton candy clouds
A comet streaks across the top of the world as I watch, and wish
The cloud moves slowly and I am lulled to wakefulness.
