In this age of absolutes
Rigid, knowing and astute
Waking daily to a morn
Then closing day both frayed and worn
For life is rarely free and easy
It’s roiling waves that make us queasy
Unaware what’s round the bend
Never sure how aims might end
We need escape from all that’s tragic
Can we believe there’s truly magic?
A plane beyond the harsh and real
Where the dull turns ethereal
And that which you thought could not be
Becomes a new reality
That’s a world I will inhabit
Now in reach so I can grab it
And drift a breadth above it all
For dreamers have the wherewithal
To create a space where rules withdraw
The only guide is thrill and awe
How dim this globe would be without
Ingenious minds that gad about
Whose art and vision can inspire
Under listlessness sparks fire
Unprecedented zeal is born
Makes possible a world transformed!
