Fairyland

this is where I astral 

travel to in my dreams

there’s a waterfall that glistens like 

selenite as it pours down the streams

with flowers that surround it 

colored like neapolitan ice cream

and all that you’ve ever wished and hoped 

for can come true under the moonbeam

it’s somewhere that dandelions 

can be blown away in one piece

as if an artist crafted this place with 

their bare hands from Ancient Greece

you could get all the rest you 

need and easily fall asleep

jumping through the mushroom gorge, you lie down

your head on a cap after you’ve skipped and leaped

Fairyland is full of wonders to 

be discovered by the mystique

when you visit there, it’s the same kind of feeling 

you get when you go into a room full of antiques

you think, “What is this thing’s story? 

Who owned it before? How did it get 

here and end up in this little store?”

there is much to explore, so go ahead and 

build a boat out of bark along with an oar

that way you can float down the 

path until you’ve reached the shore

Fairyland is everything 

you’ve wanted and more

there’s a street called sugar maple

and if you walk down it, 

all your pain will heal

the scent of lavender will calm your 

senses and make you feel tranquil

it’ll take your mind off of reality and 

help you remember to be grateful
