[Poem] Tissue Paper

2009-04-22 @ 10:50 p.m.

a world that has hardened
jagged
with cold, uncompromising text,

lacks the gossamer words
of wonder that spin
a realm
of pure possibility

and leaves the maiden wishing:
if this world

were more like tissue paper,
bright, transparent,
enveloping wondrous secrets
and treasures beyond our knowledge

I would spend less time
with my eyes closed
