I long for fantasies
I long for fantasies
Hidden realms
Where no one but I have trod
Elegant creatures
On silent wings
flying through the night
Stars that burn
With inner fire
Magnificent and deadly
Planets full
Of beauty’s untold
Dwellings of hushed mysteries
Silent forests
Towering trees
Secret glens and hollows
Bubbling brooks
Pure waters
Whispers from the deep
Ocean’s broad
From shore to shore
Their vast fingers reach
Silver moonlight
Trickling down
Bathing the world in unearthly glows
Myriads of labyrinths beneath the earth
Twisting tunnels endlessly long
Reaching, reaching to the unknown
My dreams are fragments so easily broken
Clips and pieces are chaos, undecipherable
Only feelings remain making me wonder
Imagination constantly running every moment of every day
But shallow this is
Limited by what I have felt and seen
Moods I am in
Where glimpses I catch
Of things beyond my knowing
Satisfied sometimes by stories I read
Books brimming
With their own worlds
Satisfied sometimes by stories I create
Worlds, people, creatures, made by me
Limited only, by my own mind
Satisfied often
By books of knowledge
Physics and laws, secrets of the worlds
But sometimes
Nothings is enough
I long for what does not exist
To travel to distant stars
To touch a dragon
Talk with a wolf
To have fire flow from my fingers
Powers obey my command
Power beyond comprehension
Most of all to KNOW
To know everything, see everything
Understand EVERYTHING
The mysteries of the fabric of space
Of stars, of elements, of atoms
The knowledge of universe mine
Who knows who can tell what awaits me?
Moods like this as fleeting as a fog
I’ll read this later and laugh
Yet erase it I will not
This mood will come again
Then flee again like the dawn
