Enchanted Sleep
Sherri DuPree
Open up your eyes and look,
We've fallen through the pages of a book;
Brilliant shadows bounce off me,
Have we passed into sleep?
Enchanted sleep.
Chances are, this is a dream,
It's odd how beautifully real it seems,
Brilliant colour surrounds me,
Have I passed into sleep?
Enchanted Sleep.
Now I'm sleeping.
As the day rolls out, fireflies come out,
We pluck the stars down and we put them in our mouths,
I look around and soon we've swallowed the moon,
Oh, well,
I'm glad I could share it with you.
Chances are, you are a dream,
It's odd how beautifully real you seem.
I don't understand these things
So I'll pass back into sleep ;enchanted sleep,
Now I'm sleeping.
