Treading down a well known path
I found myself a little lost
Lost in thought and in way
A little frown my brows did cross
Wondering where I’ve stumbled to
Trying to figure a quick way out
Round and round I circled shrubs
I failed to figure my way about
Tired of trying I did give up
I sat down thus, on a fallen log
Lady sleep came calling me
Gate to dreamland, I went and knocked
I danced around, my boots kicked off
Night time creatures held my hands
I toasted with wine and drank it too
Making merry on the forest sands
I felt a quiver, a chirping sound
My eyes opened to bunnies and birds
They disappeared as soon as I woke
I woke up to that familiar world
The same old trees and bushes I’d seen
I recognized the road to home
I took to kitchen, baked some goodies
Reminiscing the night in morn
It felt so real the dream that is
I felt my feet sore from the dance
I laid down on my bed and thought
‘To relive the night is what I want’
But never did I dream again
As lucid as that night I hark
For never more have I felt alive
Than that time, I’d danced in the dark.
