In the mood to post my favorite poem I've ever written

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

This came from a dream I actually had- it was one of those cool dreams you just never want to end. I awoke still thinking of it and feeling it, and I immediately wrote this poem. It seemed the words were already there waiting, and the resulting verse kept me mentally high for a week.

I know I've posted it here once or twice in the past, but I'm simply in a mood to share it again.

Enjoy, and fly free!

A SPECIAL DREAM

I had a special dream last night-
I dreamed that I could fly
away, beyond the floating clouds-
I danced up in the sky.

The treetops were my stepping stones
to reach the summer air
so clear, so warm and sparkling blue!
I wish I was still there.

My dream was very real to me-
I thought of it all day.
I want to go back to my sky-
I wish there were a way!

To fly; to fly just like a bird!
To laugh at gravity!
It tasted sweet up in the sky-
like summer wine to me.

I had a special dream last night-
I dreamed that I could be
above the mountains; with the stars!
I flew, and I was free!
