Fantasy Thinks

I think I dream far more often than I think.
I prefer not logic, but creative ink.
Rational thoughts go until they hit stop
while fantasies omit a bottom and top.
I think birds fly south ahead of winter’s cold
to continue playing where sun turns fun gold
and all bored Salmon fight their way upstream
because a vigorous swim ignites fertile dreams.
I think no living creature lives life nocturnal 
due to daytime fact writing in their journal
but because they much prefer an active night
where heaven’s bright stars bolster dreams to ignite.
Seas dislike their textbook facts being all man knows,
so, clearly, I think I know why the ocean flows.

Fantasy thoughts completely changed the life of Rowling when she added ink, so go for it! Aloha! Rico
