A misstep and almost derailed
My shoe feels my old footprint
Determined with each breath
Thought balloons rising forth
Deeper slumber, higher illusions
Reality and fantasy are merging
Just a mortal, but not earthbound
Bending the laws of physics
Each heartbeat pushing higher
Rising air beneath my vision
On the wings of a dream we clutch
Holding dearly onto strands of hope
With a sliver of vivid imagination
Moonbeams serve as a ladder
Bouncing across the stars
Comets powering my feet
Ideas float like bubbles
A few kiss the sky’s face
From the backs of eyes wide open
Seeing through the present to the future
You say, this can really happen
The idea shines away the darkness
Your palm is a treasure map
Each line a ring of herstory
Peel back the petals of desire
Smell the essence bursting forth
Looking to the heavens above
Eyes meeting across vapor trails
Ticket 2 Ride
