My Escape From a Three-Sided Prison

One day Morning sunshine Warm and pleasing Shining on the three walls that lock me in Starting my daydreams Travels around universe No boundaries No walls to hold me in No toils to tire my bones No stress to furrow my brow Only endless oceans Fields covered with a million flowers Skies filled with velvety clouds Alas, it is only a dream A fantasy land that never existed It is a place of dreams and wishes My mind created it My heart filled it with life and hope Reality creeps back in The real world returns as the happiness dies Piles of papers strewn around Files reach toward flickering neon bulbs Day old coffee stains a cheap plastic cup That is my life That is what I awaken to see The universe The fields, flowers and clouds I have seen The experiences I have had They will all have to wait for now They will have to wait for another daydream

I love to daydream, escape reality for a midday adventure. What I like most is you can control the dream and the fantsy world you choose to visit. Unlike the nightmares when you are asleeep. Excellent write.
