My thoughts are flying away,
to distant realms,
I leap to catch them and hold them close,
thinking,
reflecting my essence they are mine to hold.

How wrong was I!
Failing to rein them in,
I surrender to them,
and let them fly away,
So far out to the horizon,
living my dreams on their cushy wings.

Hurtling away at rapid speed,
I pull them back to linger,
as I want to devour,
a kaleidoscope of dreams in riotous colours,
They unleash on me.
