Beyond today
Yet….before tomorrow
In that place one goes to share
a dream,  to weave the
imagined mind.  

Superman had such a place
Yes…cold, desolate,  and secure.
Where he dreamed in his life
of power and worldly worry.

Imagine the fears of knowing that
Life goes on, even as the mind rests
and resides in that place between
today and tomorrow….  

Living in a world of crystal and ice..
A palace carved by the hands of
Immortality …  far beyond the
thoughts of Sampson….Delilah…
No shearing of  flowing locks
from the head of steel.

If only a world had a savior
Flying past the speed of  an atomic bullet
into the reaches of far space and
near light.  Catching damsels,  crooks,
making the world a place  where fear
hides and happiness smiles

In a place…between today….and tomorrow..
Somewhere after yesterday

This is beautiful
*grabs talent and runs away*
I suppose we all need a hero in this world of villians.  Beautifully spoken.

Barry you won it with the Superman being in it. But you really did write a wonderful piece. This falls under what I would consider a true treasure.

oh the rogue part of me wanted to run when it saw the Superman. LOL
