jet lag

(papa) lead my music towards marshmallow dreams and woozy hearts

 

he lay me down in a soft nest of clouds and propped my head up on a mushroom

 

tucked me in with quilted blankets and goodnight kisses

 

he stroked my nose until I succumbed to the whims of foreign lands

 

and he turned the

lanterns off

 

he played me piano riffs and stroked the strings of my guitar

 

warmed me and cloaked me in oceans of drowsy bliss

 

and he'll read me

dreams tonight

complete exhaustion, trying to fight off jet-lag and this trippy thing just... happened.
