I Saw Wonderful Vistas Today - Poem by Liza Sud

I Saw Wonderful Vistas Today -



I saw wonderful vistas today -
we went to movies in Latvia,
levitation for half an hour
without any problem then.

and after that we were told,
that the sea is - full of dead corpses
and we'd better leave and go,
It even is changing color.

As for these vistas and species
I've never seen anywhere else!
and so we changed the place,
so that to see the screen better.

and why do I need a reality -
if paradise is what I see now!
and why do I live here,
and not in my dreams, please clarify?

What a dream! First it gives you liberation in levitation during you are free of gravity, totally free to move at your own sweet rhythms, BUT then the warning the sea is full of corpses. Wow! The Dream gives then take3s away. Your reflection on the Dream in the last stanza has haunted for some time. The two MUSE poems started as a way of responding to that last stanza but changed slowly into the MUSE poems because I could not find words to express my appreciation of that stanza. I'm still thinking it through!

levitation or levity? a real long flight or laughs with brevity?
