Everything
That lies within
Becomes without when life
Frees itself
From mortal shells,
The spirit free from strife
And thus ascends
To where forever
Waits among the stars,
Light and free,
A breath of wind
Uncaged by mortal bars.
But there is where
The paths of souls
Diverge and find their place,
Each on a journey
Of the heart,
A universal race.

Mine awaits
Beyond the moon,
A world of blue and green
Vast libraries
And verdant fields,
Far more than can be seen.
Within each book,
A portal lies,
A world in wait within
I turn a page
And make a wish,
The world begins to spin.
And there I am,
In black and white,
A character on stage:
A magic spill of words,
I’m now
A part of every page.
It only takes
A single wish
To change my paper fate;
The endings can be different,
But they’re free of fear and hate.
And never there
Am I alone,
For characters are friends
And family
Will come in time,
Together ‘til the end.
