************
Worlds constructed in my mind’s eye
fantastical creations
of thought.
Words float up
from a page of hundreds
Twirling
around my head.
Sometimes I spy
Heroes, villains
Playing tag
across my eyelids.
I look into the life of another
Then become them.
I laugh with fairies, elves, and gnomes,
I battle with swords pulled from stone
I walk with memories
of the
past,
future,
and make-believe.
