Flight on the wings of fantasy...

Flight on the wings of fantasy...

 You’re sitting on that train called ordinary day -- musing  

  Looking out the window like every other passenger--refusing    

 To let your destination be written on the back page of the newspaper     

 Your sweet imagination is your comfort and your coat of armour

Though fate can be a cruel mocker-- you stand stronger than an archer     

 Though the train moves along with speed beyond your control

Trying to break your will by the over-whelming pull of acceleration   

Shaking and screaming, meandering with unrelenting movement,

Your fingers tighten and clutch in desperation while you tremble

And shudder-- until the light appears again with unprovoked anger.

 You simply close your eyes and day appears as you would have it   

Wrapped in a dream, a serendipitous flight on the wings of fantasy;       

Whisper sweet nothings; smile, kiss and make love to the ordinary day.

Curtis Longstreet,

Good write, Enjoyed, My vote and My Nomination

 You simply close your eyes and day appears as you would have it   

Wrapped in a dream, a serendipitous flight on the wings of fantasy;       

Whisper sweet nothings; smile, kiss and make love to the ordinary day.

Regards & Love
