Open your bedroom window
And fly to the stars at night
Walk across the sun
And see it burning bright
Ride an enchanted unicorn
Across a sun-set beach
Then leap to a rainbow in the sky,
Just beyond your reach
Dance amongst the clouds
And sing with angels in Heaven
Then think to yourself,
What it would be like to be seven
Speak to talking animals
Imagine what they'd say
Dream of colorful landscapes
Then live to see it that day
Move to a faraway land
And live in a golden castle
Then pause and think for a second
What life would be without the hassle
Swim alongside mermaids
Dive under the deep blue
Believe in magic and miracles
And the wonders you can do
Explore unknown lands
Discover what lies beyond what you've seen
Create new worlds that lie, from the ocean, to the sky,
And in between
Fly away forever
To a place called Neverland
You never have to grow up
And you can be a kid again
Some people think wisdom,
Comes with you as you age
But the greatest wisdom of all,
Is with you as you're small
Keep innocence and imagination in your heart always
Even as you grow, make sure it stays
Learn from a child how to live again
And let the magic in your life begin

Oh take off Amber
You obviously sometimes feel like me,
I tend to wish to fly and do extraordinary things
on the spur of the moment, and even do,
usually with luck and sometimes a bit hasty
perhaps.
I would like to go on the journey you describe here,
where do I book?
The only things that tripped me were the repetitions,
Sun/sun setting and grow, perhaps the second one cold be mature.
I shall have sweet dreams tonight, thank you, Ann.
Thanks
so much for your comment! I'm glad you could relate to it. I think we all can to some extent; we all want to live in the world our imagination creates.
Hehe, the journey is always available in your mind. ^^
I agree about the repetitions, i'll find other words to use.
God bless,
Amber
Oh dear.
Being in a cynical mood I blue-tacked a note to my computer saying "be nice on Neopoet"
This is lovely and true but the cynical part of me says "hippie shit".
Just my personal opinion, but I see no reason why we should not write the negatives of life and offer reasonable, politically informed solutions.
Nonetheless, you got through to me, and lightened my mood, thank you.
Thank
you for the comment! Haha, I appreciate your honesty. I'm glad you enjoyed it though : )

I much enjoyed this beautiful trip thanks
Thank
you!
i read this as a poem for children
and being a big kid myself enjoyed it.
Thanks
very much!
this is quite lovely to read
this is quite lovely to read
but there are some spots where the rhythm is a tiny bit rough (imo I stress) and spoilt the imagery a little for me
I offer suggestions, please feel free to throw them away or use as you please
‘Across a sun setting beach’ (across a sun-set beach)
‘It being just beyond your reach’ (drop ‘it being’)
‘Then think to yourself,’ (needs some more iambs – ‘then think ta dum ta to yourself’)
‘What life would be without the hassle’ (drop the ‘the’)
‘And all the wonders you can do’ (drop ‘all’)
‘Explore unknown lands
Discover what lies beyond what you've seen
Create new worlds that lie, from the ocean, to the sky,
And in between’
‘ Explore unknown lands
Discover what lies beyond what you've seen
new worlds lie, from ocean to sky,
And everywhere in-between’

Thank
you so much for the suggestions! i've made a few of the changes.
