Fancy

Fickle butterfly
Wraithlike creature

Gossamer wings

Hopping….

Object to object

Place to place

Emotion to emotion

Dream to dream

Plan to plan

Knows no bounds

Elusive sprite

Can make and unmake

Princes and paupers

Can touch virgin peaks

Cross uncharted oceans

Knows no despair

For it…

All is there!!!

Erase fancy; curb impulse; quench desire; let sovereign reason have the mastery.
Marcus Aureluis, Meditations, Book nine
