&quot;And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don&rsquo;t believe in magic will never find it&hellip;&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> - Roald Dahl


I live in a world
That I myself have yet to imagine.
Where the wild roam free
And magic still exists.

In every little thing,
I wish for the extraordinary.
In the corner of my eye I see fairies
And in dandelions I find wishes.

I accompany an elfish prince
To a carnival
Where people fly
And strange creatures prove
Their existence.

I come home into a new world-
A peaceful, courageous world,
In which I am all I crave to be
And everyone and everything
Is full of wonder.

And it is not so much that I wake,
As I fall asleep,
When I leave this dream,
Because reality seems less real
In comparison.

Maybe I read too many books
And watch too many movies,
But what is
Is sometimes not enough.

Where are the wandering nomads?
And where have the little sprites gone?
Now all I’m left with is the sound of my breath
And the sight of an empty room.
