From Sea to Stars

make believe

~~~

On the back of a horse

I rode from sea to stars

From the deep blue of ocean

To the bright red of Mars

 

I touched with my finger

A slow moving ray

Escaped from the moon

To bring night to the day

 

I grabbed on to a star

As it shot past the sky

Closed my eyes and wished

For the freedom to fly

 

They sprouted out slowly

Two wings from my back

My silly horse giggled

And took off like a flash

 

I followed him, flying

Doing somersaults and twists

Twirling ‘round stars

And their bright coloured mist

 

Catch me if you can!

Came the shout of my friend

So I opened my wings

And swooped down on him

 

We tumbled and tumbled

Until we hit solid ground

We were back on the earth and

And he was nowhere to be found!

 

Then I heard a soft panting

And his wet tongue upon my face

I felt his tail merrily wagging

He still wanted to play

 

It’s almost bedtime Wilbur

We’ll play again soon!

And I made for the house

As the sun turned to moon

I loved the fun and frolic in this Ana if we could only capture that childish imagination more often in our daily lives and let all that silly adult stuff fall by the wayside we would be much happier people

Hey you, thanks much. My silly things are resurfacing lately. Nice to see in these heavy times! :)

[LazerRays]

This was amazing :) I love the innocent imagination. This is so playful too! You're riding on constellations and there's mars too. I love outer space so much; and this very much appealed to me

[Ana Papaya]

I'm so glad that you liked it. Thank you Sarah!

[Maxwell Ryder]

Good coupling. Good theme. And though I know it’s nothing to do with the rhyme itself, what the hell, I’ll say it anyway - I love this font! I want to use it in all my poems, too. Don’t know how you go it though.

[Ana Papaya]

Lol. :) the font is Courier I believe.
When you are posting you can change font type, size and colour. and thank you for the nice comment :)

I did enjoy the tale in the poetry. The imagination of a child need to be allow to grow to no-ends.
"Catch me if you can!
Came the shout of my friend
So I opened my wings
And swooped down on him"
