The Mystic Light Inside

I have a mystic light inside, A light that I try to hide A light that no one is allowed to see It is the spiritual side of me. If you saw me in the street And if by chance we were to meet You would think I'm ordinary But that's the human side of me. Sometimes when I am in bed. I closed the book that I had read. Suddenly as I close my eyes. I see myself in some disguise. Tonight I might choose Captain hook, As Peter Pan was the fantastic book I read before I nodded off in bed My head lifts off of my pillow I feel as wispy as a willow Fancy-free and light as air I can float anywhere. Even to never land That's what I had planned. But this was not to be It was too breathtaking for me. Floating aimlessly among the stars, Maybe I'll space travel to mars Or Venus, the planet of love And spiritual places up above. All the Galaxies that I pass All glitter-like brilliant Chrystal glass The milky way dazzled me And the spectacle made me gasp As this majestic journey unfurled. I'd realised I'd travelled to another world. I know you'll say it was a dream, And maybe things are not as they seem. But you don't see the mystic light in me It's only the human side I show to thee.

Imagination is fascinating! Even as a child, I wondered how other children could imagine and draw monsters. Enjoyed, Shirley! Aloha!
