Magic Flute

Another take on my favorite dreamscape

As Pegasus flew me higher and higher

I gazed at the world below

I saw things clearer than before

There was nothing to war over

And the world looked peaceful and cool



I gazed upward and saw

To my great delight

A castle in the clouds

A place to get away from it all



I felt like I was coming home.

After all the experience

Of being in the acts of the world

Still I loved the world too

But I loved my castle in the clouds



The misty clouds surrounded her

The sun shone bright

The ground felt solid

Though we were walking on air



I played my crystal flute

Romped around valley, forest, and creeks

Walked through misty meadows

And still longed for my home,

The Earth, too



I slept with down comforters

And a memory foam mattress

In my room in the world



But I also stayed the night

In the cool, chilly, rooms

Of the castle in the clouds
