Sliding Through the Open Door

The mind will go where it will The imagination, once stimulated leads on to who knows how many fantastic worlds Daydreaming has a purpose The spirit is refreshed by fantasizing Try to let go of "absolute reality" for a while Dance to the tune of the mysterious piper" Streetlights in summer illuminate the path to freedom Let the dreamer become the dreamed! Give in to your better nature Glowing eyes reflect starlight We are whole once more

Thank you for the comments Matthew, in answer to your question Rick Parise has been a poet on the soup for a while i think?, he is often putting imagenative contests for soup members to participate in on the site.

gosh, Matt.I used to daydream all the time when I was young. i guess reality slaps us in the face and I got slapped early! Can't say I daydream anymore but I recall it sure was fun!! (Nice poem!)
