Virtual Reality

All of me is open for review
 every moment spent in time with you,
the wakening with the rise of the sun
 washing, dressing, breakfast on the run,
 warmly heated cars rushing off
driving along the pothole streets slough
 a bumpy start then no paths to ride
 smooth and steady glides,
stiff chairs and desks set prone
 e-mails, urgent papers shown
the daily grind keeps us here
 in the physical reality sphere;

but somewhere in the daily quests
 there is an escape but little rest
as all the efforts I have made
 slip in and out of the twilight shade
 and this here and now is not the only parade;

my life exists throughout the days
 finding refuge in the clouds at bay
here the senses ignite to send me reeling
 exceeding seeing, hearing, tasting, touching, feeling,
it's an emotional flush
 wrapped in imagination's rush
a virtual escape 
  why would you hesitate?

Slip up, slide in and out your personal shroud
 to the virtual reality up in the cloud.
