Nephelococcygia
From νεφέλη (nephélē, “cloud”) + κόκκῡξ (kókkūx, “cuckoo”) + -ῐ́ᾱ (-íā).
1. cloud-cuckoo-land, a utopia, imaginary place with unrealistic or silly people.
Dragons and dolphins mostly;
Draping my waking eyes in dreams,
Whilst stare I high above to see
Forever in the shapes that more than seem.
They grow me toward whom I’m meant to be,
This they must and do achieve.
A singing bird in flight,
A wolf’s head, hippo, cartoon ear,
All flying, flying, shifting, sighing,
Merging, making more than me;
But also making me — what’s best in me:
Vision for another world,
Imagined beauty atop the real,
Love for this and every day,
And every creature living, dear,
All near and here — beneath this blesséd sky.
