From the carnival circle race goes off the course
the vintage carousel of bobbing corralled horse,
galloping skyward from the field of fiesta fair
through the music of wind jingling everywhere.
With teen fantasy on ornate steed out of chain,
he holds the rein in the strands of ebon mane,
canters up above the spire of the castle in the air,
far from the meandering rivers on the land bare.
In sprightly strides his reverie climbs the space high
to the conclave of clouds caressing the satin sky.
Returning after merrily going round the land of fairy,
on the carousel of life all his dreams he’ll carry.

No other country where I've been seems half so fair,
It's the land where I, in childhood, built my castles in the air.
James Kay Glasgow
Castle in the Air
Can I see my Castle in the Air?
No! Unlike a stone chateaux
it is a vision of rainbow light
floating on cloud meadows
Its four small words,
‘Castle in the air.'
fashioned from wide dreams
I imagine vines from
enchanted woods, climb the walls
deep, green precious leaves.
Bright violets fill the undergrowth
in orchards of mist
Windows reflect infinity-
Deep puzzles of beginning and end
Expectation gleams on gold spires
I can only ask for myth
For Castles in the Air Contest.
The Voyage of Life: Youth, painting, 1840, Thomas Cole
**********************************************************************************************************
The boat of youth, a craft so bright,
Sets out upon the morning light
With angelic stare, from the shore,
The vast unseen world to explore.
The youth steers down a river fair,
With careless joy filling the air;
He holds the tiller, spirits high
Beneath a boundless, hopeful sky.
The river winds, a silver thread,
Through landscapes painted, richly spread,
With topping trees and meadows green,
A vibrant, ever changing scene.
A distant castle in the air
Turns to be the youth goal and flair,
Illuminated by hopes bright,
Simmering with fervor of light.
But shadows lengthen, clouds do form,
A hint of coming, brewing storm;
The path grows steep, the currents strong,
Where innocence may not last long.
The river narrows, rocks appear,
A whisper of approaching fear;
The easy glide begins to cease,
So does the youth voyage of ease.
Yet, the ocean's challenge is met,
With lessons learned and courage set;
The tempest rages, with sun gleams
Weaving into a waking dream.
The voyage of life onward goes,
Through trials faced, youth wisdom grows,
The youthful heart, though storms may blow,
Remembers where the currents flow.
The painter`s brush, with hues so bold,
The life story of youth has told,
On voyage in quest of unknown,
With seeds of wonder, newly sown.
To ponder why,
In deep dismay
To Daydreaming in the stream of consciousness
Mixed in mind and heart desires
That detaches from current task and test,
Don’t quit your daydream
Trance aid fantasy
Intervision encapsulates me
Hallucination musing
Don’t quit your daydream
Imagining inattention gathers
Inattentiveness woolgathering preoccupation
Don’t quit your daydream
Emotional brooding
Obliviousness engrossment
absentmindedness Self-absorption
absence of mind
staring into space
abstraction
Don’t quit your daydream
lack of concentration lack of application
figment of the imagination
unrealizable dream Home is castle in the air
Wishful thinking fond hopes Self-absorption
Wishing upon…
Whatever it is Don’t quit your daydream

"it matters not"
for the love of the sea
it matters not I sit and stare
I know I'm here
the far and wide unveil glory
we both whisper a story
secrets of hopes and wishes
secrets of worlds of fishes
as tides roll to and fro
my thoughts I don't want to go
blessed with a front row seat
up above seagulls come to meet
their treasure food to survive
my treasure my soul comes alive
sounds heard across her sphere
I hold within close and dear
gentle yet loud for one and all
quiet still vocal as a waterfall
a wondrous castle in the air
it matters not I sit and stare

"if"
if I have to tell you
what does it matter
if I have to explain
what does it matter
if I have to justify
now it matters
don't question
what isn't understood
don't analyze
my walk of miles
don't criticize
my fractured soul
if all this has to be
leave me to be free

"fallen angel"
speak fallen angel
never be silent
sound your voice
hear fallen angel
sing with birds
listen to nature
see fallen angel
witness life
find your soul
feel fallen angel
experience love
know the divine
touch fallen angel
hold what is yours
extend all tangibles
wish fallen angel
envision beauty
dream each desire
stand fallen angel
follow yellow brick roads
journey to peace
believe fallen angel
dare with possibilities
the world is open
soar fallen angel
be the butterfly
breathe a rebirth
fallen angel
fallen angel
you have the power
you have the power

SIX FEET
Six feet under,
Still thinking about one thing or the other
Judgement day looming behind all I ponder
Was the only thing which makes me wonder:
The thought of years of blunder
And divorce between I and Brenda
Is a life dissipated and gone down yonder
Which finally and forever tore us asunder
A curtain-call through the aid of murder
Was sadness and weakness that struck me like thunder
Now, what shall I render
But to wish my path isn't trodden by my brother.
If life was worth it, I'll have dreamt another
A wish as wishful as a castle in the air I won't bother.
