Dreams

What dreams tonight,
does my mind hold?
When I lay my head down
my fancy grows bold.

Will I fight a lion,
a tiger or a bear?
Vanquish my foes to
save my lady fair?

Become a great pirate,
to sail the seven seas?
Turn into a princess,
who holds the magic keys?

Explore distant lands,
with jungles or snows?
Win wearying races,
by only my nose?

Or will I invent a
new frightful horror?
With goblins and ghosts,
or some unseen terror?

They donâ??t always make sense,
maybe turn a bit crazy.
Iâ??ll ride planes of green cheese,
grow into a mad daisy.

Itâ??s a chance I must take,
when I lay down to sleep.
Quick close my eyes.
Iâ??ll jump in the deep!
