Funmbi Aransiola - Dreams

What are dreams but a journey through the night?
Travels through black velvet and the light,
of starry staircases reaching the moon.
What are dreams but a journey I'll be taking soon?
And as I close my eyes and drift to sleep,
I slip away from all of my tensions and my sorrows,
and travel on a magic carpet ride of delight,
that bridge that links my today with my tomorrow.
