Flight of fantasy

Petrarchan sonnet

 Flight of fantasy

 

No moon tonight, the sky is indigo.

The stars appear as points of brilliant light

against the backdrop of the darkling night.

 Far too far away for us to ever go.

And yet perhaps in time, you never know.

We may one day exceed the speed of light.

Though until we do we can claim the right

 to send our questing minds where we cannot go

 

Our minds are free to defy gravity

 and travel at the speed of thought.

We can indulge our love of fantasy.

Our minds need no technical support

although we know it is not reality.

Things may not be, as we were taught.
