Radiance refracted…
colors of the sunset fade
into azure splendor…
The stars sing of ancient
times as the legends gather
and my mind touches each
jeweled story and moves on.
Pegasus of Herculean fame,
master of the wind, Draco the
the hundred-headed dragon
who guarded the golden apples
of the Hesperides, and Hydra
the twisting snake encircling
galaxies….
A soft fluttering of wings
sends gentle ripples through
the moon lanced darkness…
Dancing in a cold spotlight
the heir of dragons
traces magical runes
in the night air.
A lonely blossom reaches
offering it’s sweet embrace,
the nectar of its heart.
Magic still lives…

The places we can travel in our mind, nothing can limit that. How wonderfully you have painted this and how well it fits the quote.
