The Level

– I’d like to know how high
  You, Fantasy, could fly
  And if there’s any limit for your flight.
– I’m really everywhere,
  In daydream and nightmare,
  Impressive, supernatural and bright.

– I wonder how high
  You, Human Love, can fly.
  I do remember you’ve got tender wings…
– Oh yes, sometimes I try
  To leave the Earth and cry
  To meet another human soul that sings.

– Now tell me how high
  You, Poetry, should fly
  To be a part of everlasting Art.
– Nobody knows my place.
  I drift in dismal space
  But rise just to the level of the heart.
