A Magical Flight

I tread the path of shimmering light,
Where a velvet river gleams at night.
The brutal world is no more in sight,
Displaced by a stardust twinkling bright.
No howls of pain, and no wounds to fight,
Croons the nightingale, what a delight!
I crave this world of magical flight,
Alas ! It was just a dream at night.
