The Secret Life of Daydreams

  

Beneath the mundane of day-to-day events,

Beyond the solidity of moment-by-moment happenings,

Behind the veil of seemingly transparent dealings

            Lies a secret life of Daydreams.           

Come, come away with me

and together we’ll tiptoe barefoot beyond the edge of our dreams.

We’ll gallop through the unmarked terrain of our skies

and peer into the pools of the unknown,

casting ripples upon the stagnation of our fears.

Together we’ll shout the battle cry of viva, viva

And whisper melodious secrets into the ears of children.

We’ll slow dance with Shakespeare

And fly with Pan and Wendy.

We’ll feast upon French pastries with Poe’s delusionaries,

twirling against fiery horizons with the Bronte sisters.

After spending a day with dandelions,

We will compose symphonies of unrehearsed serenades

that sound like drops of honeydew sprinkled upon a golden sunrise.

Herein lies the secret life of daydreams.
