WONDER REIGNS

 

Clouds stare from lofty high

Inquisitive eyes, opened wide

Whispers exchange in the breeze

conspiring between the gathered few

The privileged that chance befriended

For them , a gallery view afforded

Dots on a vast inky landscape below

A broken remnant of proposed connection

bears the weight under a starlit sky

Of two that braved the broken road

Two that scaled the high walls of freedom

Leaving their chosen path a blurry past

Their surroundings carved out of a dream

strengthened in salt between sand and sea

The world slips away on wisps of smoke

Hastening like a voyeur embarrassed

by intrusion on the swirling magic

Words do justice here no more

For wonder reigns on a supreme high

eliminating existence from the audience

Reality, a long forgotten realm
