A Magical Paper's Ride

Strolling down the shoreline and what did I see?

A strange piece of paper staring right back at me.



I bent down to pick it up and begsm to read aloud,

it's strange erie words, quite ironic yet profound



"You are everywhere and nowhere all at the same time.

and everything that you experience will soon be part of this ryhme".



"You are all things and no things, anything that's here,

You can run, float, swim or fly as long as there's no fear."



Perplexed, I tossed  this paper that spoke to me,

Next four glass walls were surrounding me.



Swimming to the left, and then to the right,

round and round in circles but not an exit in sight.



Peering beyond the glass was a man focused on me

Placing down his net looking as proud as can be.



Swimming through this water and being someone's fish,

frightens me to death to think I might wind up on his dish.



His eyes were bloodshot red as he opened up a beer,

then plopping on his couch, his eyes had shed a tear.



He seems quite depressed in his boring mundane life.

Drowning in a sea of alcohol, he'll never find a wife.



Finally I noticed a sharp crack in the glass.

It slowly leaked out water, my fishy life about to pass.



Focusing on the crack I noticed it changing it's form,

Expanding out all around to become a cloud in a storm.



Suddenly flying over it, my wings spread wide to soar,

Looking down upon the mountainous terrain, I could hear a lion's roar.



I knew I was an eagle soaring high above the ground,

Truly feeling free and no longer being earth bound.



Ascending higher and higher and not a moment too soon,

I found myself peacefully floating right alongside of the moon.



Having no physical form to chain me, I was light and free

To travel space, time and distance much vaster than any sea.



I suddenly looked down, mortified I would surely fall.

My heart thumping rapidly knowing there was no one to call.



I recalled that paper's strange eerie words,

Reading "Have no fear" which I didn't while gliding with other birds.



I then blacked out waking to find myself on land.

My journey was over seeing that same paper in the sand.



I dare you to pick that talking note up and read aloud it's words

As you can be anything you want, soaring higher than the birds!



Let fear not overcome you as I did when looking down

for the power suggestion is magical and that is what I found.
