Flights of Fancy

Imagination 
   a force to be reckoned with 
   when considering 
the human condition 
   Who doesn't have fantasies? Movie stardom 
 fantasies 
      athletic, political. erotic fantasies 
  capture the minds of the multitude 
   The mind needs to escape 
the dull work a day world 
   Stars above shine like Roman candles
 The mind of man is still an uncharted ocean
where poets, painters, musicians and writers
   can express worlds of hopes, wishes, dreams
and help free those who are hoping in silence
