and the butterflies dance between their petals
where the stars twinkle in the night 
and the sunsets are streaked with pastels

let me escape from reality
let me leave my overwhelming schedule and the stressful news
let me live in a world of kindness not hate
where people laugh and dance
where people are kind

take me there
I want to escape
