Swept Up in Stories

What magic spells are written

In the words I see on the page

To transport me across land and sea

Where the winds fantastic rage,

Where all my steps are smitten

With a surge of freedom to stray

From standard scenes? What a grand new dream

Greets my waking eyes each day.

 

Here's the fourth in a series of eight-line poems. In this case, I don't think a whole lot of explanation is necessary - this poem focuses on the wonderful ability of stories to sweep us up and transport us to new places, times, and perspectives.
