A young girls imagination explores many realms |
All alone in her bedroom she dreams Of going off and exploring Perhaps of venturing to the North Pole Seeing the glistening white meet the sky blue And listening to excited otter pups bark; Of being where the only direction is down. Laying her head on her pillow full of down Her mind never stopping she dreams Of being in a jungle, trees covered in bark She wanders around an old village exploring Motion catches her eye; she sees a bug with blue Dots crawl on a blanket hanging from a pole. In a bright meadow, in her hand a fishing pole She finds a cool flat rock and sits down At the shore of a stream, the wind blew Some petals into the water, to where the mermaids dream She jumps up, skipping through the flowers exploring Running at her side, a group of puppies bark Sitting up in a tree, holding on to the rough bark, She watches other children slide down a pole Her mind yet again wanders, exploring She watches a squirrel run through the tree and hop down She giggles at the thought of what squirrels would dream As the teacher ends recess, ringing a bell that’s blue At home, she reads a book about the ocean blue Looking at pictures she wonders if dogfish bark Glancing out the window she starts to day dream Of diving into the ocean and using a pole To hook treasure from sunken ships down On the oceans floor that she’s exploring Her mind switches gears to exploring Space and seeing a planet hang like a blue Ball and seeing nothing when she looks down Then she realizes she hears her dogs barking And in her mind flies back to earth passing the poles On the way, her mind writing more dreams In her dreams she is always exploring She imagines maypoles and bonnets blue And of aliens eating bark, while she rest on down |
