In the depths of the night, when the stars shine bright,
I find solace in darkness, a calming respite.
Silent and still, the world drifts away,
As I wander through dreams, where my heart can sway.
I wander through meadows, where flowers bloom,
Their vibrant colors dispelling all gloom.
The fragrance they carry, so sweet and so pure,
Filling my senses, an enchanting allure.
In this magical realm, where time stands still,
I dance with the wind, on a mountaintop hill.
I soar with the eagles, high in the sky,
Feeling the freedom, as I fly and I fly.
The moon gently guides me, with its silver light,
Leading me through the darkness, to moments so bright.
I sit by the river, as it gracefully flows,
Listening to its whispers, as it softly bestows.
The stars overhead, like diamonds they glow,
Reminding me of the beauty, that lies below.
The secrets they hold, the stories they weave,
Inspire my spirit, encouraging me to believe.
In this realm of dreams, where anything is possible,
I am free, I am whole, and I am unstoppable.
No boundaries hold me, no limits I see,
Only the limitless potential that lies within me.
As the dawn breaks, and the night starts to fade,
I awaken from dreams that my heart has made.
But the memories remain, etched deep in my soul,
A reminder of the dreams that have made me whole.
For in the depths of the night, where the stars shine bright,
My dreams become reality, they take flight.
And I remember now, that within me lies,
The power to create my own starlit skies.
