Dreams can be strange and ever so surreal

A nightmarish reality that's hard to feel

My dream was of a man with a face of a snake

His eyes were two pools of a deep blue lake

The sky was purple and the trees were pink

The world I was in was quite a strange thing

The ground was made of sugar and stones of gold

My sense of reality was starting to fold

I didn't know what to do or what to say

As I watched this scene continue to play

The man with the face of a snake said hello

And with a wave of his hand he sent me below

To a place with no knowledge of time or place

Where the sun and the moon lit up my face

I was scared and confused, I wanted to run

But the man with the snake face said it was just a dream, just have fun

In the sky, I saw an elephant in a tree

Swinging from branch to branch so merrily

A giant squid, floating in the air

With a bundle of balloons and not a care

On a nearby mountain, a cheetah in a dress

Dancing to a tune, it was such a mess

The strangest thing of all was a pink flamingo

Floating in the sky, a most peculiar show

So I embraced the craziness, the wild and the weird

And I awoke with a smile, feeling so relieved.
