[just being whimsical]

I am forever chasing visions
as I ride atop the crest of waves
snow-peaked mountains loom beyond sea rim
clutching languidly at passing clouds
somber in early dawn - a lion
waking up slow from untroubled sleep.

All nature's creation - the gurgle
of flowing springs, the forest in bloom
bow to their majesty and radiance
like admiring and loyal  subjects
puny creature as I am, I feel
like David taking on Goliath.

Entranced, I'm drawn towards this vision
I  drink lavishly and sate my thirst
their magnificence  transforming  me
I, David, have become Goliath.
the king of kings have bestowed on me
their awesome power and elegance.

Today, I shall be invincible.
the mountains, the Force, have awakened
I kneel as a tap on my shoulder
has given me confidence to toss
blithely any dice on life's game board
and it will roll in grace, not fall short.

So I sigh at my visions - but think
how I can soar free to the heavens
no longer earth-bound, and fly with ease
to pedestals of my choice, such that
I can move mountains and wave them so
like  a wand  to empower my day

Nothing like escaping from an earth-bound captivity and you can soar above and beyond your wildest dreams, jjote!

thanks Jerry and redstart, late as this post may be. You're right, David's power is just that to me - mythical and just in my dreams

This is empowering, be in dreams or not. Really nice thoughts here.
