Three Magic Rocks

I hold three magic rocks, in my hand 
Rolling them over and over and over 
Leaving this reality behind, far behind ... 

They hover, floating there in midair 
Everything becomes a blur 
Then very very very clear 

I am the Dream Master and this world here 
Is but a mystic mystery 
And a wee bit ***** (odd)

So, come see what I see 
Just close your eyes and be 
Here in the here and now 

Cosmic colorful creations 
Is my contribution to the world 
Come and dream with me! 

It’s simple really, I really 
Really mean it. Just dream a little dream 
With me 

And throw them rocks  
Into the void at anyone 
Who don’t believe me!

Crystol Woods Date: 2/26/2025 7:09:00 AM Dream a little dream of me...I hear the song as I read your words. This is vastly different and so creative! I enjoy watching how your mind works and pieces these powerful poems together in your unique way. I've been a fan and still am! I think your word "queer" was blocked which isn't right since it has a perfectly legit meaning. I guess it's better to ere on the side of kindness though.

Jan Allison Date: 2/21/2025 7:43:00 AM It is queer how we can't write that word in a comment but not in a poem! I especially love the alliteration you've used in "Cosmic colorful creations Is my contribution to the world Come and dream with me!" good luck in the contest:-) hugs jan xx Login to Reply Benjamin Bartley Date: 2/21/2025 10:35:00 AM Silly isn't it. I wasn't sure I'd be able to even write that queer word here. Glad you picked up on it even with it blotted out. There are a lot of words like that. Even The LBGQ community must not think it a slang word if they themselves use it. Thanks for the comment.
