The nature of creation

I sway in the tree of dreams

Far from the ground of harsh realities

This freedom comes to mind

From a view seldom seen today

The peaceful breeze carries me,

away in a daydream

Into a new world of discovery

How refreshing it is to breathe

Deep, with no sense to hurry

The man-made deadline absent

In the nature of time aligned

In space this was created

To set the centre stage alive

This is the place to visit to remind

The mind where it ‘set in motion’

The imaginative exploration for tomorrow

-Camille Delaquise
