Only a thought away

poem

 

 

Only a thought away

 

The moonlight casts across the lake. A gleaming path which dreamers take

 which leads them to or so it seems a magic land of fulfilled dreams

A different reality where they are granted instantly

 The powers which they need to be utterly and completely free

To travel at the speed of thought to see the silver dragons sport

their changing colours as they fly in graceful dance across the sky

Or watch the mermaids as they play amidst the surf at break of day.

Though every wish is satisfied eventually they must decide

To leave the realms of fantasy, returning to reality.

The hum drum world of every day, resume the roles they have to play

but they return refreshed renewed. More positive in attitude

than those sad soul who dare not take the silver path across the lake

But choose instead to lie awake regretting every past mistake.

Because they lack the courage to, do what wiser dreamers do.

So take your courage in both hands forget this world and its demands

Just set your troubled spirits free to roam the lands of fantasy.

It does not take too long to learn and once you’ve been you will return.

You are quite free to come and go between the worlds you’ll come to know.

The boring world of every day or fantasy when you wish to play.

Absolutly going in my favorites! I loved this, from the flow and rhyme of the writing, to the fantasy world that awaits me. Just the thought that you can go from eveyday reality to a fantasy world of enjoyment if you just take that leap... Wonderfully done.

This was exquisite! I loved the trip it took the reader on. It captures the imagination and runs us through the fantasy. What are dreams if not fulfilled; are they then but thoughts? Wonderful poem.

I love this poem! It is wonderful!

Rich content and message. The words flow and have great meaning.

The message is powerful. I plan to add to my favorites and reread it when I need another reminder of the truth you share.
