Only that much

Getting real is perhaps
the only way to live ,
but a little imagination,
once in a while
a delightful flight of mind
into fantasies unlived ,
of floating on clouds ,
of singing with the stars ,
of playing with
the breeze on
lush green meadows ,
of bursting into
colored fountains of laughter ,
helps anchor the real .
But only that much
which does not
cloud the real .
