Poetically Dreaming Blue

In the yonder realms of cloud nine, at the edge of my blue sky, lies a castle in the air, where my feet never touch the ground. Ideally situated off the beaten path, where if you have the notion, to swim the deep blue or surf the pipe dream, no one will say you’re a mental fig or figmental but have a fantastic legendary day. Flying above it all looking down, the only thing shadowy is the ground, where people are walking looking down, as they theoretically eat your pie in the sky.                          
The flaky crust where their ideas rust
Only if they see it again will they trust
But I have this recurring dream
And I don’t have to prove a seam
while I am wrapped in the silver lining
and they’re sitting in the dirt whining

"Surfing a pipe dream", rusting ideas, such great images. I not so sure that you don't have a typo in the last line though, "setting"?, or did you want "sitting"? Anyway thanks for entering my contest, and for giving Haibun FreeStyle a go. Congrats on your joint 3rd placing.
