Stretched out upon my bed, my wearily subdued and slumbering body lay,

And on the smooth linen of my pillow, my head rests after another long day.

Quietly I escape, for no more am I tethered, no longer am I earthly bound

As my dreaming mind ascends skyward, high above the earth’s hard ground.

Ascending into the blue of the heavens, without feathered wings I silently soar,

Looking upward, and not glancing back at the earth's cold and callous floor,

For my mind is heavenly bent on the pursuit of hope, love and pleasant dreams,

A momentary, but tranquil, reprieve from earthly hate and hostile schemes.
