Stories Coming Alive

Stories Coming Alive


The light beckoned
Calling gently
To come hither
It was all in my imagination
As I stared at the picture
But the stories called to me
The forest animated
Flourishing with life
Made me feel aware
As if the earth called to me
I walked through the forest
In my mind's eye
A world of wonder
Where fairies dwell
Magical creatures inhabited
Appeared before me
For an hour
Then for all time
As I took up my pen
The tales came alive

Tuesday's Writing #No 23~ Wonder

Prompts: this week:  Treasuredbittersweet anticipation 

Wonder

The wonder of Santa Claus
Seen through children’s eyes
Brings back treasured memories
Of Christmases long ago
The anticipation of Christmas morning
The family gathering too
Seen through rose-coloured glasses
The bittersweet remembrance
Siblings gone too soon
Of parents gone too
Forgotten for a moment
Lost in the anticipation
Of the celebration

So long ago
