Higher and Higher on a Midnight Ride

I want you to come with me on a ride 
High in the sky through clouds of puffed cream
Soaring to places you never beheld
Places of which you have never dreamed

I'll wish the heavens for gilded ivory wings
To allow the freedom of the rolling night sky
Willing and able to fly higher and higher
Grinning madly from faces wind-dried

Aiming true towards the deep ocean clear
Shimmering fins for our white wings in the aqua blue
Far beyond the open surface air
Over the ridges and coral rock, past the kelp forest, too

Erupting from the Earth out into Eternity
Farther and farther to where streaking comets play
Rocketing nearby the color plumed planets
From our earthen home to the cosmos we'll stray

In between the Planes on this wondrous ride
Exploding across ghostly fibrous Astral seams
Soar within a wispy world of pinkish-white
Searching for adventure through the tendrils of dreams

Lighting upon swaying prairie grasses
Lying down among the dusky wind blown fields
Permitting ourselves to fall backward through time
Awaiting with pleasure at what the night might yield
