Would I ?

rhyming quatrains

 

 

Would I ?

 

 

The moonlight paints across the lake

 a golden path which dreamers take.

When sleep has set their spirit free

to visit realms of fantasy.

 

There hybrid monsters multiply

and birds can swim and fish can fly.

 Large silver dragons sell ice cream

from motor bikes powered by steam.

 

Imagination knows no boundaries.

You can converse with passing trees

 all students of theology.

Who claim divine authority.

 

The sleeping mind so easily

 accepting unconditionally.

Things that the conscious mind would be

Examining more critically.

 

I wonder if I dared to take

 that golden path while wide awake

Would I lose my identity

 becoming just a fantasy?

"Imagination knows no boundaries.

becoming just a fantasy?" Quite possible, I'd say. Brill !

ah yes, you are the master of the poetic form...some of us just dump lazy - self absorbed poetic narrative on our page, but you are a story teller. Nicely done
