Further and further I fly to the sky,
My mind is my wing, it carries me high.
Into a sunset of orange marmalade,
Flyes my body while below people stair,
At the girl in the sky with chestnut hair.
Farther I fly till I come 'pon a land,
With flowers so high they brush 'cross my hand.
Kaleidescope eyes see yellow and green,
Blue fountain bridges and marshmallow fields,
Rocking horse people and diamond etched shields.
Closer I fly to a river banks shore,
While my golden eyes spy objects of lore.
Newspaper taxes await my commands,
As tangerine trees cry for my name,
I enter a taxi but fill with shame,
"I shall return because Lucy's my name."
Home I arrive, a train's in the station,
But I'm alone within meditation.
Around me sit objects of looking glass,
Thousands around me on my turning style,
Yet someone was with me all of the while.
(years layer)
I return to my place, river below,
Nothing has changed though been ages ago.
The trees sing my name and I sing their's back,
Someone below marvels at my gold gaze,
I finally see through my world of haze.
Author notes
I got inspiration from the Beatle song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds"

wow awesome this was an awesome poem and i loved this, it was an amazing write and i want to listen to the song now,
my favorite part would have to be:
I return to my place, river below,
Nothing has changed though been ages ago.
The trees sing my name and I sing their's back,
Someone below marvels at my gold gaze,
I finally see through my world of haze.

I liked this piece, it was very well written. My favorite lines were:
I return to my place, river below,
Nothing has changed though been ages ago.
The trees sing my name and I sing their's back,
Someone below marvels at my gold gaze,
I finally see through my world of haze.
Those were beautiful lines, it ended the poem very nicely. Thank you for entering and best of luck to you in my contest. -
I was going to say that reminded my of "Lucy in the sky with Dimonds" and it does and it reminds me of a bird or something that flies.

Excellent
Bravo, iamthebeatles, you've really given the song your own unique and original slant and personalized it wonderfully. This really weds well with some of the thoughts in your other wonderful poems. Keep up the fine work- you are only getting better all the time!!!
