The Atlantis

Deep in atlantis

I dreamt we had long arms

to reach out from a door

at the centre of a coronary bliss.

Deep in closed eyes

Not asleep

In atlantis

Long arms to reach out

All the way up, up and up…

To touch the air softly

All the way to a star

All the way to Vega

Most like us

Sometimes to shine

Sometimes to not.

To the harp lyra

Plucking twinkles

From losing.

Deep in atlantis

I dreamt we could fly

All the way

All the way

Up, up, up,

To the greatest

Wonder

Space –magnificent.

Take a ride

In a rocket 

In your beautiful mind

With me

Nothing can take

Your atlantis.

Sweep the sky

Nothing can take your

Atlantis

-that’s why.
