Ticket 2 Ride

Somewhere in the silvery mist

Dreams are transformed into escrow

Beyond consciousness they prosper

Ethereal, in the mind’s eye, a rainbow

—

Willowy clouds float as thought-balloons

Encapsulating hopes soaring skyward

I let them go, free of Earthly hold

Honorable, keeping to my word

—

Angel-hair threads of fairy dust

Caught in the dreamcatcher’s net

Afire in the clear-sky moonlight

Casting a haunting silhouette

—

Divine intervention, a catch and release

Imagination cannot be contained

It belongs to the universe

Majestic and forever unchained
