Today I got out a little piece of paper
And I wrote \"my future\" in the middle,
And I made a little paper airplane with it
And I looked far away, right at the spot with the trees
Near the foot of the mountain where the pretty
Sky meets the trees and I flew my plane
Right at it.

This is so short and simple...that i'm absolutely in love with it.
There is that childish feeling of hopes and personification in this...and it adds such a wonderful easy way of talking about dreams and aspirations.
It's a shame that in the rush we are all in grow...no matter how young you feel, you will never be that same kid again, throwing paper airplanes at the mountains, and being sure that this is how it's done.
This is wonderful my friend. Wonderful.

If dreams are like movies...

This one very much has that whimsical carefee feel of younger days. The second line struck me as very interesting:
And I wrote "my future" in the middle.
The placement is important. Instead of writing it at the top or the bottom, it is written in the middle. As to say, there are things before and there are things to come, but my future is here in the middle of here and now...or perhaps it reflects the mode of thinking of being stuck 'between'. My future is somewhere between here and there and I know not where I go. Although the later interpretation does not fit with the later lines of the poem.
To take flight in the future (yours/poetic voice) the voice has a definate path chosen...and it is one of serenity and harmony. Where nature paints a scene of beauty for those paper wings to fly:
Sky meets the trees
There is no ceiling, no limit to the height one can choose to soar.

The leading cause of death among film photographers is exposure.
Film photographers often suffer from mixed emulsions. ---horrible puns from my husband ~novispoon

Simple yet complicated. It made me think of life when I was really small. How everything was blue skies and dreams coming true.
*sigh*
Yeah.
