Islands In The Sky


Mystical places not yet
explored, these islands appear to
be floating  freely with nothing
holding them to the earth.

Seemingly beckoning me to
come, speaking to my soul saying
you will find pure delight, your every
fantasy will be for filled and your
dream state will be understood.


Come join us here
in the  heavens and quench your
souls longing for adventure.
There are fairy’s fluttering about,
maidens fair, white knights on
pitch black steeds and gentle
giants with loving touch, so come
join us here.

Desired wisdom and knowledge
that is here as well, flowing from
hill sides like mike and honey.
No man has left his mark upon
this land for only those called
upon will ever see these islands
in the sky.


You must hurry for as the
mist dissipates and the
fog rolls back out to sea, these
islands in the sky will once
again not be seen by human eye.
I beckon thee now to follow
your heart and come with us,
for the God of all knowledge
and understanding awaits
your coming.


Realizing my coffee cup is
now empty, I take one last look
out towards the valley giving
my soul comfort because all
that just appeared was but a
dream, fantasy if you will,
even so my heart feels refreshed
and content.

No sorrow here for tomorrow
will once again bring the fog
that will cover the valley floor
leaving just the tops of the hills
giving my mind a place to go
and of course my dreams,
desires and fantasies.


By, Cerenity

Sounds like a wonderful place
I can  often find myself there
in the night when i am alone
with only my thoughts for company

perhaps i am not alone then
Maybe all around are the others
those with similar dreams
walking though my dream world

trying to find their own way back
From the unicorns gaze
across a field of ochre haze
and little Alice in the looking glass

It is my place of escape
the open lands beyond time
Beyond the weakness of man
where love and wisdom come to thr deserveing

In it i feel as a bird
free from the traps life sets
no longer alone in a crowd
now embraced on my own


Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling
'Tis

Cerenity wow a stunning piece, take me to the island in the sky. I often look up at the sky in envy, wishing I could swim through the clouds.

why must we pray
screaming? why must not death be redefined? we shut our eyes we stretch out our arms and whirl on a pane of glass-patti smith
