Somewhere beyond the clouds
Lies a park filled with laughing children
And covered in the petals of Spring.
Here, in this country between consciousness
And sleep is where the contents of my
Heart lie bare—open to your invitation.
I lie awake, thinking of the place
I cannot go, waiting for
The day it will become available to me.
In my dreams, I am there.
Walking the rose-covered aisle
With you by my side.
