Distant Thoughts
As she sat in the garden, her book on her lap
She hoped time would come to a stop
How cool, how pleasant it was here
It smelled of dreams, oh of that she was so dear!
She wondered what she would be like as an animal
Surely, she would be cruel and bestial
Hungry and thirsty, filling up her hunger
With those little beasts for whom she would be a predator!
She wished she could have, at the tip of her fingers, magic
Oh she would have surely tried every little trick
From bringing back time to travelling further in time
She would even sweeten the sour lime!
She hoped someday, to travel to the sun
Oh this was her dream, surely not a pun
For, full of mystery is life and all that surrounds it
So why not try to broaden further her knowledge a bit?
The air was stifling, studies were boring,
Romances in books are thrilling
She wished for an eternal lover,
Someone she would not be bored with, never ever!
With these thoughts in her mind, she slept
Her mind to great distances, stepped
And she became there, her living dreams, her whims
She became there, the Queen of her own films!
