Riding On The Wings Of Fancy Poem by Vidya Pandarinath

Those who ride a Pegasus, into the wilds of Fancy,

May get to know the spectral images motley;

Thrilled by the gallops and giggles of the latter

Far, across and beyond the expansive outlay,

And procure the treasure of all virtual matter,

Be a run-away dreamer or be master of necromancy.





Boarding a vessel or crafts, may reach,

Land or be marooned, like the Greek Epic Legend;

Perform little feats, fights and carry back -

Being home-sick, exhausted and aged, towards home bend

With the memento and trophies for their memoirs - pack,

Away from the sought El Dorado or the Utotia beach




One may as well land in a rich valley,

Flying on the back of Sindbad's bird,

View, all vicious creatures and the huge, scarce lot;

Find mellow, varied edibles in the sham orchard,

Lift and carry the riches in the dreaming plot,

And yet be longing, like Crusoeto return, and not dally.




Omni - present is the kingdom of happiness and content,

From the rocky caves to the defiant sky-scrapers towering high,

Vigorously living in, man has schemed, made and found -

And designed everything he liked to possess and ply,

In water, the sky, or up and down the ground....

And needs no vehicle, carrieror vessel of portent.
