Words written on a magic carpet
Floating into you in the strength of its verse
Transcending times grip to forget

So soft and gentle that it mesmerizes you
In hypnotic aromas of blossoms
Swirling in inner strength of connectivity

Sending every sense into the words flow dancing
Creating a new universe to expand in
Such that free spirit of flight is assured

For the mind generates the images of fascination
In the clarity of fresh air
Sending you into the chills for more

An isolation bursting the shell of conformity
To create the depth to challenge the perception
Of being conforming to a standard beneath you

So in the independence of mysticism
Acquiring the knowledge to power us
In our inner strength to self motivate
In a higher plain elevating within our spirit

The garden of gravitating magnetism
In such uniqueness that others are attracted
To the open spaces of the mind reaching understanding
Under its own power to imagine the impossible
And writing about it in the strength of ones self

Reaching for it in the pain of coming out of seclusion
From a confinement that hinders the imagination
Cannonade the embracement of the struggle
In the explosive display of climatic proportion
To devour the reader in stunned silence of appreciation
In the power of one to devastate norms
And set new standards for the world to inspire with
