Flights of Fancy
Imagination
a force to
be reckoned with
when considering
the human condition
Who doesn't have fantasies?
Stardom, erotic fantasies
athletic, political fantasies
capture the minds
of the multitude
The mind needs to
escape the dull work - a - day world
and lead the inhabitants of this earth
to flights of fancy
The stars are like
little time bombs
which can explode like Roman Candles
if you consider them
carefully enough
The mind of man
is still an uncharted ocean
where the poets, painters,
musicians and writers
can paint
with glorious strokes of fantasy
"Perchance to dream" as the bard has it
Let us praise the dreamers
Let us praise the ability to fantasize
We are glorious shards
of a star which
shattered
many millennium ago
