Imagination
In foggy lands the dragon flies
on clouds of dreams and cotton
while fairies dance in meadows green
in the land that time's forgotten
In misty lanes the lovers walk
in paths of dew and fragrance
while unicorns of white delight
canter in the distance
The fields of daisies hide the lairs
of creatures and of angels
while ghosts of trees and goddesses
are quietly entangled
So lies the land of fantasy
where witches sing with knights
where you will visit in your mind
when I turn out the lights
Inspired by my daughters' who have wonderful imaginations..now off to spray "monster-away spray" under the bed and in the closet so they can sleep.XXX

Doesn't that perpetuate the belief that there are in fact monsters?
I think as a kid I was more curious than imaginative. I'd ask questions like "why is the sky blue?" or "where does thunder come from?" and I'd get answers like "it just is" or "it's because the angels in heaven are bowling". I remember feeling cheated when I learned the real answers in school years later.
I think I'm probably the exception and not the rule though. :-p
At least as an adult I foster my creative side a bit with the poems and the role-playing and whatnot. :)

The poem is a conglomerate of my children's fantasies and dreams..my now almost 15 year old was big into dragons and fairies.
Thanks for the comments

I love this magical poem! And I love that they have now invented Monster Away spray! Wish they had that when I was little. Or maybe not...maybe I would have been forced to stay in bed earlier!

This link is an excellent restored text and also is a book that features the tenor of the times he wrote in.
