L Milton Hankins Poet Rhyme

Astral Travel

I wake up feeling like I’ve been on a journey
Vivid images of strange apparitions in sight,
In exotic places, far away from earthly soil
Could it be that I’ve been on an astral flight,
That I left my body behind during the night?

And, possibly, I’ve not yet learned to navigate
Choosing the destination of my nocturnal trips
So fascinating, so filled with rapt wonderment,
With concentration and a vision on my lips
I may with self-awareness now enjoy these blips.

I am acquainted with some who astral travel
Almost nightly to distant places in the universe
Though rarely speaking of their cosmic ventures,
Some have suggested it is, thus, a madding curse
To see what they cannot describe, sometimes worse.

Tom Cunningham November 30, 2022 at 12:55 PM Must be an amazing experience to actually do that, I've heard of folks claiming that they've left their earthly body and ventured out to fascinating places. I suppose the fact that we actually exist makes you think that anything is possible. Best of luck in the contest Milton. Tom L Milton Hankins November 30, 2022 at 4:10 PM Thank you, Tom. I have a friend whose husband claimed to regularly leave his body and travel to interesting places. Who could dispute it, especially when he had such vivid descriptions.
