I dream of a fake tomorrow
With green clouds and a purple sky
Where lions swim in the ocean
And whales can even fly.

I dream of the scent of peppermint
Drifting from the treetops
Lightning beaten by thunder
Gravity powerless against the moon.

I dream of laughter from the autistic
Wordless folklores told by children
Orange coated rain clouds
Elderly walking on their tippytoes.

I dream of a colourful palace
Floating above the ocean
Love and happiness pour from an old piano
I’ll stay there forevermore.
If you don't 'get' this poem, it's okay, it's not about getting it, it's about using imagination, not fearing the limits of reality/logic and seeing things from an innocent childlike mindframe. 'Experiencing it', almost like an overload of simplistic sensory images.

Poem randomly came into my head while I was making noodles, :iconharlequinfool:'s Xanga name GreenSkyPurpleClouds inspired me (no I don't have Xanga!)
