Dreamland
Night is calling and dreams are falling,
As elephants dance inside my head.
Serried hedgerows and herds of rainbows
Are closing in as I lie on my bed!
Now fantasy meets with tangled sheets
And reality's wearing borrowed clothes.
Nothing, it seems, is simple in dreams,
As crazy images come in droves!
Can someone divine these dreams of mine,
Or shall I be left alone, to guess?
I sometimes think I might need a shrink
To make real sense of this mixed up mess!
