Flight of Fancy

I went away on a flight of fancy,

red winged shoes carrying me

like mercury, into the boughs

of mystical...

English White Poplars, and through

the mists of time,

to discover like a bird, there is

another world, another way.

Then to the mystical Australian Bush,

untouched by human hands,

to fly among the Swamp Gum

and the Lightwoods, to see the

dawn coming through.
