I had a dream of a seashore
water was crystal clear;
sky was filled with an amber hue,
I felt free without a care.
Trees were smiling a cheerful wave,
leaves fell with grace;
dancing in air with a colorful flare,
wonderful whimsical pace.
I seen from afar, twinkling star;
it seemed to be calling me near,
I tried to respond but it was beyond;
it's bright lights left vision unclear.
Drawn to the light of the twinkling sight
determined to find a course,
colorful streams formed guiding beams
directing me straight to the source.
I was surprised, when before my eyes
appeared a staircase of emeralds and gold,
lustrous glow, calestriel flow;
vision to behold.
I stood in awe of what I saw,
staircase to the star;
I felt an embrace as I moved in this space,
on these steps that came from afar.
Encircling me and lifting me free,
I slowly moved from the ground;
my mind was still, I lost my will,
I knew I was heaven bound.
I glanced behind I was surprised to find,
my form had remained below;
merging with streams of the colorful beams
I soared into a colorful bow.
