Midnight Realm

Velvet mantle overhead
Starry studs bedeck each thread
Then by such awesome God-blessed light
Are dreams enriched through every night

Roam the heavens in our dreams
And live a life apart it seems
From mundane mortal daytime chore
On land or sea or half way shore

Adventures neath the midnight moon
Are fleeting fancies, over soon
And yet they urge a waking need
That clever men should always heed

For dreams empower the lion in all
Imagination flights enthrall:
To speak, to act as if God gave
The gift of insight; so be brave

And listen to the tale thats told
Make all interpretations bold
Let no adventure go to waste,
No opportune moment go unchased

Then by your waking, open mind
Make choices of a bolder kind
For if you only trust by day
The rut is where your future lay
