Fantasy Tree

Fantasy Tree

A Poem by The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)
"

for Seriana's contest "Story Time

"

 

 

 

When life’s gravitational 

pull is astronomical

that the solid ground

which my life is built

feels like quicksand

causing inspiration,

the root of my happiness

to DWINDLE like

dust in the wind

 

I reach… till

my faith takes

Peter Pan’s hand

as I ESCAPE

to that place

that’s planted

In imagination…

 

My fantasy tree.

 

It’s roots wrapped

around my mind

climbing a spiral

through cloud nine

where my eyes

can see farther then

the moon can reach.

 

Every branch sprouts

out the things

only my soul believes.

 

I can hang with

the mighty dragon

who with one

TELEPATHIC breath

sets my determination a blaze.

 

Climbing higher lets me…

 

Feel the breeze

from the Eagle's wings

allowing the freedom

to be me

soar into infinity.

 

At last I reach

what I believe heaven to be

where a single TOUCH

of my guardian angel

reminds me that

faith in myself

is only a heartbeat away.

 

Here in my fantasy tree

I rest in euphoric bliss

as the writer in me

rides the LIGHTENING

amongst the clouds.

The tree....it is very Peter Pan...very Lost Boys....and I think, that when we grow up, and mature, and get into the doldrums of being an adult, we lose sight of our tree, of our "Hook" and the whimsy that goes along with it. You've captured it well here.

That is amazing! I Love the imagry, the whole idea that the roots of great idea's are inspired by our deepest thoughts and that all we have to do is revisit that well within ourselves to find what we need to regenerate as we need.

Absolutely mesmerizing and enchanting. I felt as if I were in the tree myself.
You did a surperb job of describing this Fantasty Tree and all the magical powers
it possesses. I love Fantasy and the idea of a fantasy tree is fabulous and you have
made it come true in the readers mind.
I don't know if the contest is over yet, as I am behind in my reading, but if this didn't or
doesn't win someone isn't reading it right,
Very beautiful and mystical. I love it.

Into my fav's.

With well picked metaphors you have expressed an amazing perspective of this picture. I am able to "see" through your words, and that is a gift. Beautiful work! Chris**
