Escape

Entertain us Let us walk down your sloped floors Sit amongst other dreamers In your windowless room We will travel to places beyond our possibilities We will cry manufactured tears Laugh along with unseen laughers We will walk or run along roads we will never travel Famous people will be our companions We will fall in love Hearts will pound in our chests Scare us Make us scream Let us feel something Do not let us be dissapointed Take our buttered hands in yours Let our salted lips murmer your praises Give our lives some meaning, if only for these few hours Entertain us

I like this Richard! The thought of playing a role if only for a few hours and managing to be the source of pleasure or pain for someone else' emotions is a powerful one. Well delivered!

A nice way to remind everyone to keep on writing, dreaming, escaping reality and coming back from our inner travels with bunches of whatever we collected on the way back home...I love the idea! Thanks for sharing, Rick!
