Unreal World,
Oblivion immersed
Misty shady magically Gothic,
False beliefs in Lethe sunk,
Why not cease the futile dream-,
Losing Time, spent better else,
it is, but effort of the Self’
Come away from Fairy Land,
Let us See, where we really stand
Let us See, where we really stand
raise our hands in prayers
bow our heads for peace before
The Power Grand!
This is certain,
Uncertainty is not the Strand!
Truth is there
Truth will be The Certain Band!
Come’ Away from Fairy Land !
In the mirror, see
the real world-then let
The Miracle be…
beyond the sky, beneath the sea
emerge in pearly purity
No more Fairy Land
No more uncertainty
O’ Astraea, Return ! in word
and deed, knowledge and justice
never before in this
warring world forlorn
was felt for you, a greater need’
Come Be the Ambassador
Bring the Utopian Grand
No More Fairy Land, but
Peace with all Virtue and certainty ‘

To loose yourself into that mirror.. immerse in forgetfulness.. the mythology of Lethe cleverly used…

I would give up fairyland for peace–If i believed sacrificing myself would bring peace, I’d do that, too, in a heart beat. Perhaps, in our crazy world, that is exactly what people are doing–all working what they believe for peace–and finding only another tower of babel. The thought makes me sad, but I’m not panicking yet. PS: Your link at “Midweek Motif ~ Swimming” brought me here!

our conversations with ourselves in front of the mirror is a testament that we are alive and that everything around us is real

That would a interesting place. Very Alice like at times, yet something more is hinted at in your poem.

Anjum,
Life is seemingly so calm, when we drift towards the mystical places. Unfortunately reality often calls our attention…
