Ship of Play

How to build my spaceship? Let me see... First I would grab A coffee or tea. Then I would open My big sketchbook An amateur please Not a vet, but a rook. Only at night Would I work on my ship So I could stare at the moon Taste the stars on my lips. Looking around For hammer and nails Seems to old fashioned For the ship I would sail. Better the tools In my mind so I Won't hit a glitch When I finally try To beam myself up Escalator or plane To my ship in the sky Where I feel no pain. My mind fills with love And peace to this earth A great driver I am Ever since birth. No gears or clutches No huge white lights A bit more understated To sneak away in the night. Perfectly quiet Perfectly sized For me alone Or two could ride. Once inside Defy gravity Your above the world Your oh so free Everything is run by touch alone No short circuits here Everything as smooth as silk Love the ship my dear. Powered by peace No gas to run this No electricity Just the touch of your lips Kiss the wheel And fly away Stay as long as you want On my ship of play.
