Somewhere Over The Rainbow

(From the Wizard Of Oz)

Can I fly with inner wealth floating among wind’s wings
Writing the currents setting sail upon heartbeats spring
Searching the horizon to “Somewhere Over The Rainbow”
Dancing among dreams making love to canvas verse flows.

Green pastures and stilled waters of peaceful tranquility,
Where Freedom and Democracy reigns inside great versatility.
Never fearing the quill dancing among Free Speech vibrations
Fluttering characters on see shore furrowing line sensations.

Shangri-La germination with meadows full of wild flower dreams
Brilliant flickering butterfly breezes caressing warm sensual creams
Massaging the souls journey melting mind on motivational measure
With whispered desires singing notes harmony on melody’s pleasure.

Can one find a yellow brick road with a piece of creative enchantment?
Where sunrise songbirds dart music on independent accomplishments
With gravity’s footprints washing ashore grains waving definitions
Into evening sunset pastels lights slowly fading into heaven’s illusions.

American Artmosphere dynamic full spectrum painting illumination
Versus
Banned Patriot Act Civil Liberties Free Verse demolition
Into America’s Tory Dead Poet’s Society silence.

Note: If only fairy tales became real “Somewhere Over The Rainbow. But alas, it is time for a reality check, where one gives up on Santa Claus, there are no miracles in a Bush America, just filters.

D.Lester Young - I wonder in America if there are even any Bush filters. Sad state of affairs. Nice write...

I read this several times, and I still am not sure what to make of it.

Sorry, I don't get it.

Merry Christmas. T.S.

I prefer not to give up on Santa, if that's ok. I also prefer the optimistic side of the street the thought of the yellow brick road. My life will be happier than those who don't...Merry Christmas

TRACE2RYM, I understand, it is about what we believe in our heart and that sometimes is Santa and the yellow brick road.

Balladeer, I also believe in the optizism of the yellow brink road. That one must believe in the brighter side of life.

Thanks for both of your comments.
