about

A literal Science Fiction - Mystic Fantasy Story-Poem in which said "Higher Plane" is not just a state of consciousness, but a real Space Ship, taking all manner of Wizards and High Priests and Priestesses to another planet.

Hmmmm...the Stewardess is 643 Years Old, which, in "Dragon Years" makes her about 16 Years and 3 Months...still "3 months older" than the kid who's hitting on her.

N-Joy.

lyrics

"HIGHER PLANE"---

Good Evening.
What I want for you to do is Free Your Mind
And loan me some of your Precious Time
We're going on a little trip
On a very different kind of ship
Now, I'd like to inform that this ride must not be stalled
So please, respond the moment your name is called.
I thank you very much.

Oh, by the way
We'll be going to a very strange universe outside of our own
A place that many a Celestial Sorcerer has called his home
I would like to ask that you take a seat
Because this ride is going to be neat
I'm going to take you to where you've never been before.

What may be a 'Fantasy'
May be someone else's 'Reality'
On a Higher Plane.
On a Higher Plane.

I take it that you folks are comfortable and like our service...

Oh, uh, Young Man, please,
Don't harass Our Stewardess
She's doing whatever she can for your enjoyment,
But, even she waited very long for this moment
Besides, with you being only 16-Years-Old, Sir
This should hold true,
For, at 643, The 'Young Lady' is more experienced than you...
I hope you understand...Thank you.

Oh, mind you folks,
This flight is for Wizards of all kinds
We'll even take a few mortals who have very curious minds
And, uh, by the way
You mortals may learn a Spell or Two
From us Wizards before this ride is through
This way, we'll have something to show our Friends Across The Stars
Do enjoy your trip.

Now, as we land,
Feel free to look over Their Version of 'Reality'
Oh, at the same token, this is what We call 'Fantasy'.

Young Man, you can't leave The Stewardess alone, can you?
Very well--stick by her side, for she has years of magic to teach you
My Friends, The Space Wizards have a splendid place
A Different World in a Different Time and Space.

Their Cosmic Powers are all over the air
My Fellow Sorcerers, it's so abundant
That the People here probably don't even care
Their World has a unique atmosphere
For the time that We spend, I think that We will like it here
For this is a place where Mysticism is Free!

What may be a 'Fantasy'
May be someone else's 'Reality'
On a Higher Plane.
On a Higher Plane.
