We often dreamt of astral travels
\nWalked through corridors of dreams
\nDanced a slow waltz in Austria
\nAnd the last tango in Paris<\/p>\n
Graced a castle in Peru
\nStrolled at midnight through the Louvre
\nWore the Crown Jewels to breakfast
\nBroke bread with Elvish Kings <\/p>\n
Flew supersonic jets into the heavens
\nSwam and dove through nebulae
\nTiptoed on active lava flows
\nRan with cheetahs and gazelles<\/p>\n
Talked for hours with Tesla and the Buddha
\nSang with Benn<\/em>ie and the Jets
\nSpoke of world peace at the Final Summit
\nSoothed a teething Baby Grogu<\/p>\n
Solved for peace here on Earth
\nWatered, housed, fed the masses
\nCreated consciousness spontaneously
\nFound everyone their soulmate<\/p>\n
Built Stonehenge, breathed stars into being
\nBirthed Rasputin, Cleopatra, Elvis, and Joan
\nTaught Nietzsche and Superman everything they know
\nDo you ever think it will be our time to rest<\/p>\n
