Lucid Dreams

Head in the clouds

By Juliette AlessandraPublished 3 years ago 3 min read

Head in the clouds, in a trance Juliette drowns leaping to her pillow

The day is over, she takes her bow - the sandman surrounds her like a weeping willow

Like a softly painted Murillo, her mind begins to draw

But what she was about to dream, was a world un-seen, no mind has ever saw

A small paw approaches her, "here, take my hand",

She follows innately into a great leap of galactically colored sand

"Your friend is here, she's been waiting avidly for you"

A cook in the kitchen, plating a table of organic magic stew

Gives her a hook and says "look over there, follow this cable to the clouds in the stable on mount honey dew"

Passing through honey bunnies running and then all of a sudden--

"Boo!" says Jen, blonde with big bursting blue eyes.

"I was hoping you'd show up tonight, just in time for your surprise"

Is this my demise? Is this what heaven is?

Jen smiles with her eyes, as if she knows what her question is.

The fun has just begun, the sky is a scene of cotton candy shades of pink

The girls hop onto the cloud of cuisines & it hands them their favorite drink.

Soaring through the sky, riding over waves

On such natural high, an infectious connection of craze.

"Expect the unexpected. In the maze of our past life, we were immensely connected."

"I'm here to remind you of your path. We are one in the same"

"I came to find you my other half, you are my t w i n f l a m e".

Rainbows grow in the sky of psychedelic angelic pellets blowing

Juliette looks down, seeing a boat of glistening fairies rowing.

"Lets not stall this magic cloud! - direct to Pandora!" Jen says aloud.

Flashes of yellow, orange and blue- the cloud begins to hug them with arms of fondue.

Together they take the plunge, cannon balling into the deep sea

A lazy river of dreams, fluorescent streams wrapped around Pandoras tree.

Around they go on doughnut shaped floats, as fairies prance around them taking tokes of magical smokes.

"Where are we going? will I be home in time?"

"I'm like Dora the Explorer" Jen says, " I have the map to your mind."

Like Pippy Longstocking herself, I'm the adventure you've been waiting to find."

Just unwind in this magic portal, it makes you immortal- in which time does not exist.

Enjoy this moment because we own it- this Devine ride in the midst-

of a candy sky with endless plates of "kibbles & bits"

Spaghetti's and steaks with sides of dumplings & whipped grits

Piles of versatile scents this cloud's emitting in mist

Reality ceases to exist. Questioning their mortality, "if this is Nirvana, you must allow me to enlist"

Riding shotty in a galactic cloud of manicotti, over lands and mountains

Sipping wine from dripping lines coming out of the Trevi Fountain

The most incredible scene they've ever encountered.

Botanicals and animals, fireflies and fairies

The infinite weight this cloud carries.

The perfect remedy for any Sunday scaries.

The sun begins to rise and light appears from a beam

that Mr. Sandman's riding while singing "Life is but a Dream."

Juliette smiles and hopes never to forget, the portal inside her eyes to get back to those she met.

Eyes squinted open to flashes of fairy lights, flashbacks of the magic that lived through the night

Catching them all, trying to store in a jar. Keeping them close to reminisce from afar,

Like fireflies next to her heart by her bed, dancing to the memories now ingrained in her head.
