Realm from Beyond

As I lie in bed I can feel the night's cool air lull me into a
realm that takes me beyond the conscious state of reality.
The realm that is beyond has awakened me to the mysterious
aura of a mountain wilderness. As the morning's cool mist rises
above the mountains giant treetops I am greeted by the joyous
and abundant sounds of the forest wildlife. I follow the sounds
of a slow moving stream as the wooded foliage carefully
guides its movement down through the sloping foothills where it
gently empties into a lake of serenity and tranquility. As I
drift across the calmness of the lake I arrive where a forest of
trees border the boundaries of the land and puts forth red,
yellow and orange colors that bring new beauty to nature's
autumn event. Just beyond I can see acres of lush green
fields as they gracefully dance to and fro in harmony with
autumn's soft breeze. The breeze gently carries me across the
fields and into the horizon where the heavens, Earth and Sun
unite as one and blend their warm and loving colors into an
exquisite sunset. The colorful splendor of this scene
overwhelms my soul with wonder, for this is such a
magnificent creation. As I drift out of the realm from beyond
my soul holds on to this moment of time. It's a piece of the
realm that I call mine.
