Am I awake or am I dreaming? It's 3am and we're leaving

Dan asks for the plan, we're going to Space 

The streets are lit, the sky is dark

The river flows past strong and fast

The place we are going is quiet and peaceful 

High as the tree tops 

Hopefully no one will stop us

Time moves by but I don't see it

My mind is only involved in my movement, up and up

Now it's time to cross, now it's time to focus, now it's time to play, relax, enjoy

I see space between the arches 

I see space between my feet

I see lights flash, twinkle, glitter, I see stars and reflections

Is this what space looks like?

Is this what tripping feels like?

My mind has gone to a better place, all that is left is my movement

I don't want to come down

But my body is filled with lactic acid, all the energy stores are gone

If I'm sleeping I must be dreaming

I check my hands, they move in front of my eyes, this must be a dream

 

In bed at 10.30am tired and happy

Was that a dream? No it was reality
