"Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the world in letters too large for some of us to see."
-C.S. Lewis


Colors on a page in the tablet in my mind
Where the colors are erupting and there is endless time
Endless new inventions, it’s never getting old
Endless partial stories that were thought but never told
Endless possibilities, to a dream I will awake
To a dream I will succumb, to a dream I will create
To an earth that I will build, right before I tear it down
And begin again the next day, by building from the ground
To the mountains I will climb, if not only in my head
From the sea until the sky, until the day that I am dead
And even still I’m dreaming, I’m scarcely on this earth
Physics shall not hold me back, I’ll wager everything I’m worth
And the things that they call crazy, that’s what I call real
The world is just my dreamscape and I’ll paint it as I feel
I’ll fill it all with powder blue,I’ll fill it full of stars
Then I’ll paint the canvas black, and etch in all my scars
And then they’ll all be vaporized, and I will disappear
Into a place where I can narrate, and have no need to fear
I am now omniscient, in fact I always was
And when my characters question me, I’ll say it’s just because…
I’ll take all the puppets, I’ll recreate this strife
You can call it drama, I choose to call it life
I can show you love, I can show you strength
I can show you ambiguity; I’ll show it all at length
I can show you lightness, I can show you fun
I won’t burn my feet while I walk across the sun
Maybe I’ll bring shades, but my eyes can take the light
You don’t like the sun? Then I’ll paint a starry night
I’ll put some scattered clouds, so you can’t see the sky
At least not from the ground, but I’m a bird so I can fly
I’ve walked across the moon, and I’ve been inside Europa
I speak all the languages even Maricopa
Yes, I can do it all, so long as I am free
But of all the things I’ve done, the best was being me.

The author's comments:
My experience on this earth, however slight, has taught me that more important than anything is a great imagination and the ability to face everything with childlike wonder. In my poem entitled, “Endless Possibilities” I write about all of my adventures and all of the things I’m capable of simply through imagination. This poem was written when I felt overwhelmed and needed a little respite from the drudgery and stress of being a serious student. Poetry offers me this respite and allows me to forget who I am and what I have to do and allows me to simply explore the dreamscape that is the human mind. I truly hope that through my poetry I can help others to do the same.
