Quest by Eliz. Rooney

“Leap tall hedges
That enclose your mind
And ride your winged dreams
Into the far, far reaches of the sky.

Leave far behind
The small things you were sure of.
Go and find
The ‘things in heaven and earth’
Which this old world
Has not imagined yet.

Go
And do not forget
To bring back moons and miracles
So we who stay at home
Can also start to see.

Thanks Charlie for letting us see a bit of what you see along the way.
Safe travels,
Aunt Mary
