I want to fly

by Countess of Monte Cristo   May 23, 2010


I want to fly to the world of dreams,
Where everything is what it seems.
No hypocritical appearances, no sweetened lies,
The essence of everything is naked to the eye.

The faces are unmasked,
Transparency seizes the day.
Genuineness has the upper hand,
Hypocrisy is kept at bay.

I want to fly to the world of my imagination,
Unpenetrated by bitter reality, reached by thought.
The heaven that exists in my mind,
The product of dreams unsought.

Pray, take me to the world of my dreams,
Forget me there forever more.
Myself awaits my own arrival there in anticipation,
I still have much in me to explore.

I want to fly to the place where purity reigns,
Where fairness does not come at too high a price.
Impulsiveness would not be a regret,
I would not have to think twice.

I want to fly to the world of dreams,
Where everything is precisely what it seems.
Take me there and please forget me forever more,
For i have far much in me i'd like to explore.

* Imagination is the one weapon in the war against reality...- Jules de Gaultier(French Philosopher&Essayist)

    I feel sorry for people who do not have an imagination for it is that imagination that allows us to go places, do things we never in reality would get to do. Well done.
