Not superman and yet it’s known
the up, up, and away no fantasy
but a wish encased in a bubble of need
and packed in a box of desire.

The box can’t move or be propelled
by the spirit of ghostly movers
but rather it waits like all the seasons
for it’s turn to live gloriously.  

Desire, desire; filled to the brim
with the trappings of wishes and needs
struggles to breathe and survive
in its own little paradise.  

Wishes and needs hold hands every day
for they share an incredible bond
and tut-tut, pat-pat, their sympathy
in sync with desire’s panic attacks.

Desire has no innate empathy
because it knows all wishes and needs
have stacked the dice and filled it’s space
far over the legal limit.

Up, up, and away but everything stays
because wishes and needs, boxes, and me
are real, you see, and not fantasy!

Oh, Honey, I "desire" that all your "wishes and needs" be met. In fact, may they all surpass your hopes, dreams, and desires!

"Up, up, and away!"

Love 'n a warm hug,

Linda

Thank you, dear Linda!  I'm up and away again because my recent move "nobody's friend" and I wanna go home, you know.  But home is where the heart is and my heart ain't where it should be and so of a one who travels alone there's never a place called "home".

There is great energy in this write, dear Helen! Up, up and away, you say! May you find peace and go where the heart wants to go. There are no limits to desire, besides those you inflict by your own thoughts. And why should you want to do this?

All my best wishes and love and hugs.

in the reasonably near future. good luck'

Thanks Margherita, AW, and Lindsay.  There is no peace when dreams aren't real but that's no reason not to breathe and believe that one day I'll be free.  

Hugs

I think it might be night, if we could just live in a fantasy land. where everything is perfect. Sounds good to me.
