Fancies between dreams and waking to brighten your day.<\/em><\/p>\n

Worlds float by in bubbles
\nRiding beams up to the moon.
\nFairy kingdoms drifting,
\nDream by dream they swoon.<\/p>\n

I chase them through the starlight
\nAnd watch them as they sleep.
\nI cannot reach their wonders
\nExcept by dreaming deep.<\/p>\n

Through field and over forest
\nSo silently they fly
\nAnd unicorn and dragon
\nWatch them passing by.<\/p>\n

No creature would disrupt them
\nNor follow in their wake
\nAnd naught can ever catch them
\nHowever long they take.<\/p>\n
