Three Magic Rocks To Another World

I hold three magic rocks, in my hand Rolling them over and over and over Leaving this reality behind, far behind The future opens as i become a space rover Rolling these rocks, from a long ago race As a window of light opens in front of me A portal has opened, i feel a glow on my face Through the dreamy blue, what will i see As i turn and say goodbye to this world My thoughts intrepid as to what awaits out there Over the blue, i Semaj finally step One, two three to a black abyss i stare Within minutes of being here, the darkness fades A strange orb rises oozing colours of light Like similar beauties from earths parades Wonderful scenery, another worldly delight Through what i would call a clearing, an expanse appears With wondrous colours and earthly creatures Giant butterflies, rabbits silhouette against this sphere While plants so gorgeous display their features I venture further into this kaleidoscopical rainbow En-captured by a thrilling of a world of serenity What delights have my eyes, been allowed to bestow A place of calmness and no hint of calamity Beside a brook i sit as i absorb this place Scented petals grace and drift in a light breeze As i scan the surface, there appears a face A golden haired beauty, golly! is my mind in tease I rise to my feet, and in wonderment stare To my amazement she smiles, fluttering her butterfly wings As i approach this beauty by the rippling brook My heart pounds notes like a longing sing She looks at me in curious pose Wondering what to make of me, an alien being Is she reciprocating what i would be doing If she stepped through the blue, is she what i would be seeing As we edge closer, its as if it was meant to be Nervous i am not, in this land of blissful serenity We all have a path and maybe its my destiny Have they tried and tested, and eventually found amenity I turn around to look back, to where i came from I can't hear her voice, but i can hear her song My body, my heart in self possession aplomb No going back through the blue, for this is where i belong For Constance La France " A Magical Journey " contest. http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/fantasy-9.php

Ah, the return of Semaj! I love this science-fiction take on the three magic rocks, James, and your writing as always is amazing. It was spellbinding and take me back to our co-write. Too bad Samaj has returned to the stars, but I presume he will visit again ?? Great write, Highlander! Love, carolyn

I especially liked the first 6 stanzas. They drew me in and zapped. Great write. Keep writing. Sara
