Retreat to the magic land
There is magic land
That only I have found
I’ll show it to you
Come away with me dear
Let’s go past the meadow green
To the narrow bridge
Yes, it’s but a lane
But watch out for fallen rocks
We have far to go
Round this narrow bend
Nature is calling us here
For birds are singing
Can you see the sea?
We will cross to the island
In that little boat
I must take the oars
Sit, lest it be unstable
though the sea is calm
We will see wild things
Beasts that swim and crawl and fly
But no, not wild bears
Here there are penguins
Seals, cormorants and a tern
Now to welcome us
It’s my magic land
It’s yours too if you promise
Keep it safe always
Yes, we can each have our magic land. I enjoyed reading about yours. Well done.
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful poem.

Had a chuckle over that, I have bears that now and then walk through my yard. Sometimes they bring along the cubs too
No-one ever, ever keeps that promise.
ReplyDeleteMe? Bitter? Of course not.
The unstable boat in calm waters makes me wonder what is happening in your magic land. ;) Lovely writing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and a perfect scene painted in words!! It also ends with a fabulous message!!
ReplyDeleteIt's so important to keep our wild lands safe. Unfortunately, most people don't realize just how important.
ReplyDeleteA magic land, a place to escape, where did you say the boat to get there is located?
