World of Wonders

Spinning rings

and shining things

 

Singing birds

and mini words

 

blocks and *****

and dropped calls

 

rubber bands

and unclaimed lands

 

lovers' sighs

and heartfelt goodbyes

 

a survivor's tears

and a child's fears

 

things you can see

and things you can be

 

things you can hold

that make your hands cold

 

when you close your eyes

you can see fireflies...

 

Places where people tend to hide

where they shed their secrets and confide

 

all these things I gather here

I hold them all so very dear

 

humans tend to overlook

the wonders resting in a blank book

 

a candle flame

is never quite the same

 

greyscale, color, or just the red

hear what people in the past have said

 

this is my home of endless awe

where there is but one single, unbreakable, undeniable law:

 

Keep you mind opened, keep you eyes peeled

and never let your thoughts be concealed.
