last night i met the queen of the land of play

to visit my shores, she said
begin with a dash of stillness, bordering on boredom,
and a feeling of uncertainty,
Now, that’s a good start!

from there your filaments
stretch
making up songs, telling stories
drawing from the infinite well

the river comes alive
the clouds have meaning
trees and stones talk to you
and anything and everything is possible

chaos shapes into order
and dissolves again

you play with ancient, ancient forces
dreaming myths into being
shaping worlds out of the flux

in parting she asks:
how would you like to feel now?
imagine - you are already there . . .
