Faster Than Light-Years
What is faster than the speed of light?
186,000 miles per second
Nothing in this physical realm
But there is another paradigm
Traveling faster than light
It is the mind /spirit within
Taking us places in an instant
Virtual reality may just be the thing
Just like Dr. Who or Beam me up Scotty
Imagine the top of a mountain
A rocky flowing mountain stream
The smile of a baby
A vision of your parent who has passed on
The mind is a wonderful entity
Transporting us to the depths of the sea
To the outer limits of the universe
To see love in an instant
To touch the mind of God
A prayer a touch of the divine
To imagine a heaven beyond description
To see the pain of a hell already experienced
The spirit takes us inward to see who we are
To remember our childhood vivid and clear
Just like it was yesterday
Time flashes before our eyes they say
All in an instant
All beyond light-years
All beyond anything we have yet to imagine
The mind is instant gratification! … or torment!

Amazing how we can see in the dark. Just close your eyes and dream. Are you dreaming in living color? Are you seeing faces? I have heard it said if you can visualize or imagine it you can do it. Our minds are wonderful beyond compare. How are you using yours? As I began musing about speed in light years and the amazing mind, this poem came into being!
