WITHIN THE LAND OF MIDNIGHT DREAMS

Mirrored majestic
mystical magic in flight,
crystal ice water castles
shining so bright
painted upon this velvety
and moonbeamed
canvas of night,
spiraled stairways
to the heavens above,
crystaline castles
ascending across the sky.
glistening visions
from the land
of midnight dreams;

And you are cordially invited
to come along with me.
Come just as you are;
and we'll travel among
galaxies so near
though seeming so far.
We'll travel together
to that place
where dreams are made,
iridescent wonder
imagination painted
across the nighttime sky.

We'll meet at
precisely midnight
when the time
is absolutely right,
finding our way
by moonbeams bright,
sprinkles of fairy dust
and sweet starlight.

And we'll get there
oh, so quickly,
majestic Aethenoth
taking the lead,
flying through the night,
this wondrous steed
in the same magical way
he sped through the lanes
of Coventry Town
so very long ago.

So we'll go there together
to that magical wonderland,
of crystalline ice water castles
and wintertime fantasies,
captivated by visions,
magical in the nightas our imaginations soar again,
transported to that special
place where mystical horses graze;
and butterflies dance
among rain-bowed gardens
and time is suspended
within the land of dreams.
