IMAGINATIONS BEYOND — Drips of Ink “Surreal Picture Challenge/Sergei Aparin”

 

 

IMAGINATIONS BEYOND

 

Adventures near and far
and always beyond
where I used to imagine
I could ever go
as carried so high
and far away,
fantastical balloons
lifting me high above
the usual I so often see
to places beyond
where I thought I could be,
overwhelmed, yet inspired
by all that I see
drifting and floating
through the air
along with me.

Magical sailing ships,
from here to beyond,
transporting me
through dreams
of my nights and my days,
as I imagine what it must be like
in those places beyond
the horizon’s far edge
that I’ve only seen
from the shore.

And as I watch them,
I’m drawn right in
to their fantastic journey
to wherever and beyond.
And gladly accepting
their grand invitation,
I can’t help but join with them
as we sail beyond the horizons
that I saw in the distance
just yesterday
as I could only
watch
from the shore.
