When I was a child,
Something happened, that was
Pretty wild.
Sat on the carpeted floor,
Playing with a matchbox,
Captain Webb,
First Channel swimmer 1875,
Was depicted.
I pushed it open, just a Sliver,
Looking into the darkness within,
Suddenly a feeling of intense joy filled my whole being,
A fleeting glimpse,
Of the eternal.
The next thing I know,
It's just a matchbox, no problem,
I'll just do the same thing again, and return to that place again, but it didn't work!
I never experienced that place again, but never stopped trying.
