Out Stretched Wings of Thought

I sought to take flight in my mind
One day so away from my perch
I did soar gliding on out stretched
Wings of thought over the landscape
Of my mind 

 I traveled to many fantastic places
That physically I will never see
kept loft by the winds of consciousness
Swirling under my outstretched wings

High above looking down on all
My minds eye surveys 
I see Golden castles, emerald meadows
And magenta floral gardens 

 Looking down again I see strange
People walking Crystal Streets 
Dressed in glistening white robes
A land so serene

But sadly I had to leave that place 
Where thoughts and dreams are free
to roam and take my place in the
Real world or was that world 
really my home

This is my kind of meditation. I just walk to the beach and let my mind fly away... I really like this a lot, so me. Lol!
