When I Am Dreaming

When I am dreaming…

I become a cloud in the sky 
I go places where planes cannot fly.

I become a mermaid in the ocean 
The seven seas become my love potion.

I become a butterfly in the garden 
Blossoms sight me and are heartened.

I become an eagle that glides the aether 
The realm of azure I conquer on the zephyr.

I become a ballerina that calligraphs the air 
Nimble of foot, I dance without a care. 

I become a gypsy that travels far and wide
My wanderlust is my compass, my guide.

I become the evening star Venus that shines day and night 
The empyrean takes me to dizzying heights. 

I dream of becoming Astraea, the goddess of justice and innocence 
The star-maiden that brings back man’s golden renaissance.
