Once every day

I set aside

A space of time

To take a ride

Through memories

And things wished for

Through fantasies

Where nothing's barred

A time for me

And no one else

When I indulge

And spoil myself

I just kick back

And tune into

My inner self

And follow through

With what I find

When I explore

My subconscious

Then I ignore

Everything else

That seeks my time

And drift away

To worlds sublime

Where I am queen

Or maybe not

Or it could be

Some gorgeous spot

Around the world

The warm tropics

The freezing alps

There's no stopping

My mind when it

Takes off unbound

Where wild dreams or

Treasures are found

And every day

For just a while

I give it rein

And I'm beguiled

By the places

It takes me to

And all the things

It lets me do

And when my time

Comes to an end

I come back to

Real life again

Feeling refreshed

And ready to

Resume my day

And carry through

Until next time

When I'll escape

For just a while

Just for my sake
