I don't need a ship to travel around the world.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My Niña

 

 

My eyes hurt. I needed rest.

 

But there was so much to savor

 

So many riches to quest

 

All those marvels to favor

 

 

That night, I lay in my bed

 

Book-pages spattered with colors

 

Golden, mulberry, crimson red

 

 

The sheets beneath me like Aladdin's carpet

 

Gliding to realms, a peek into dreams

 

Christopher Columbus would envy me.

its the taste of life, excellent write.

[David W Moore III]

a quest seeking riches, the holy grail, a quest seeking knowledge, a lengthy tale
but the treasure you seek is not locked in a bail, but found all along on the side of the trail.

Christopher Columbus would have taken it all FROM you :o ha ha a concise tapestry...rich in colour / texture / skill...

[Dante Balsote]

Hmm...So dreams that remain to be merely dreams are actually to be envied...

Love this- it's a feeling I've experienced many times-- one that led to my getting trouble for sneaking books under the covers. :)

Great job.
