Analysis of In A Dream The Spirt's Free
In a dream the spirit's free to break through prison walls.
Limitations hold no bars
when privilege disenthralls.
In a dream the spirit's free to conduce unicorns.
Imaginations flourish
when harpooning with horns.
In a dream the spirit's free to soar on angel wings.
Gravity is powerless
when cinched by cosmic strings.
In a dream the spirit's free to become virtuoso.
Prodigious talents unfold
when fabrications flow.
In a dream the spirit's free to defeat giant fears.
Trepidation shrinks in size
when in celestial spheres.
In a dream the spirit's free to transfigure semblance.
Beauty magically appears
when fantasies entrance.
In a dream the spirit's free to gratify desires.
Impediments char till ash
when lust ignites the fires.
