Dream in an Open Place
Rushing, swooshing, falling of the tides
Suddenly, you are in another world,
Where imagination takes you in an eternal promenade,
Walking on mystical waters, then you fall and see the surface,
Oxygen bubbles float and dance and the sun penetrates the looking glass.
Soon, you dance in the fields and rejuvenate your lost childhood
The moment you find it, you get caught in a net of happiness and laughter
Eternity comes to you in moments, and aging comes to you in a millennium.
Soon, you have the sensation of flying,
Letting Pa-akheten take over your thoughts and
Giving you new eyes to see,
This goes beyond human comprehension and understanding,
This is joy and it’s in the form of a blanket.
Then you return to the ordinary universe with a longing for more.
