My Bed At Night Poem by LONDIS CARPENTER

At night my bed's a magic ship
That sails the Midnight Sea.
It takes me to a world of things
I never knew could be.

The steersman never speaks to me
Or asks where we should go;
But even if he did ask me
I really wouldn't know.

Scattered upon that midnight sea
Are things I never knew;
And in my wildest fantasies
I wouldn't think were true.

I've caught my biggest fishes there;
I once rode on a whale.
I held a whirlwind in my hand
By grabbing its small tail.

What happens on the Midnight Sea
I can't always explain.
Life has a different set of rules;
Its hard to make it plain.

Some of the thingsI dream about
Belong to this world too.
Like when I dream most happily
In dreams I dream of you.
