Le Voyage Magnifique

Welcome aboard the good ship “Fantasy,”
where words become ballistic thrusters,
boosting us
beyond the bounds of reason’s gravity
on a trajectory
to deepest inner space.

Without knowing why,
we must travel.

Secured by bonds of universal uniqueness,
we rocket into unknown zones to find
insight and understanding.

When the words flame out and fall away,
inertia propels our adventure
into the outer reaches of
imagination.

We fly across a universe
of imagined meanings
to discover truth
buried
inside our soul.

Subconscious phantoms explore those dark caverns
deep into the night
to shed a light of awareness
upon God’s secrets.

In reading and composing, we learn
lessons to help us navigate
through rocky shoals and
propel the rocket of life
into the future.

Inspiration IS the response,
as creativity begins to flow--
tumbling and rumbling
in spite of all the grumbling and stumbling.

Beyond the price of pence,
the true reward is
discovery.
