I dream of magic
Of dragons that scream
Fire that glistens
Red and orange
Unrealistic it seems

I dream of fairies
Dancing at the bottom of
Gardens filled with flowers
And mushrooms
And tiny lamps that glisten
In moonlit spotlights
Pedaled skirts and leaf dresses
Blowing in the starry night breeze.
Even as unrealistic it seems

I dream of mermaids
Dashing mermen
Combing long wavy hair
With their mirrors of gold
Pearls everywhere
Fighting with swords of steel
At the bottom of a mystery
The ocean with hidden secrets like these
I know it’s unrealistic
But not to me
