Horse-Drawn Dreams

Just a canter away from midnight
Stands the conductor of dreams,
Fastening on the horseshoes of fantasy
While the silvery moonlight gleams;
He guides you onto the carriage
And lights up his mahogany pipe;
The North Star's wink now tells him
That the time of your dream is ripe.

Whoosh! You fly in a flurry of light
You barely notice the time go by,
Unicorns take you from dusk to dawn
Whilst fairies weave lullabies!
Voices and stories are slurred in your mind
But leaving the elder daydreams behind,
Let the muscles and speed
Of these fantastical steeds
Sweep you away from reality's grind.

But somehow the journey is over
And you are left in a daze on your bed,
But next time you travel to heaven
You'll take the Dream Carriage instead.
