Take a Trip

Step into the theater

Tell me, what do you see

You are the story, I am the reader

Escape your thoughts, let imagery run free

Whats that

You don't know where to begin

Take my hand

I'll guide you through this magical land

Take a seat in the canoe

Glide on the water with me

Between the outstretching reeds, sail through

Become one with this foreign see

Let the waters take you

Slowly into the open mouth

It's dark in here

Cold, damp atmosphere

A lantern among darkness

Welcoming sight of the moon

This divine messenger is an artist

Out of the boat and over the dune

Have you found your way

I could leave you here now

Maybe one more stop

Into the enchantment shop

Push open the wooden door

Seek out the shaman

He'll have something for you to explore

He's led a thousand men

I must travel back to reality

You can continue forth

Don't be afraid

This is how memory's made

Once you come back to me

Tell me your story

Meet me by the old oak tree

Let go of the senseless worry

The journey is yours to create

Don't let my parting stop you now

Turn off the restless mind

Finish this task you are assigned

Enjoyed this poem very much. Could picture myself stepping into that canoe and going where the adventure took me.

Very, creative and fun poem. I could definitely see the picture being painted.
