Wonder

Wonder

my chair
is a flying chair
not fleeing as you
might think
but soaring 
into greatest heights
to sights my soul 
may drink in words
to carry back 
and ponder on a while
to see the Kubla’s pleasure dome
or Petra’s carven city.


place them in the baskets 
beside the parlour stove
then over time 
I call them out 
warm and lit by fire
to see the alliances
they’ve made, within 
the treasure trove
at wishes bid they
weave a dance
depending on the mood 
and oft with but the briefest 
glance, a magic story may unfold.

Omg. I LOVE this. I hope you are able to recite this from memory. I have 3 of my own that I can recite. This is earth shatteringly beautiful.
