Magic Carpet Ride

Twisting and turning on tides of laughter, we rise and roll with wild abandon. Through sparkling sheens of summer rain, those gentle gems of glistening, gleaming drops, we fly freely upon this flamingo feathered carpet. Happily we ride along the heights of heaven, Gazing deep into galaxies that glow far beyond. Saturn's seductive rings slowly pull us forward, When suddenly we drop, diving low, dipping back into the darling glow of our moon. Then sweeping past the stars, smiling with delight, we sail off in the distance, shouting our goodnight. Now all the sights that we've seen shall swim within our dreams. Come take my hand as I take yours and we'll fly off toward tomorrow. Tanya Harrington © 07-30-2012 Inviting ~ Poet~Destroyer, Let's ride! For Skat's Magic Carpet Ride Contest
