What do the pages tell me?
They speak of far off lands;
where children and fauns fight witches
where hobbits defeat a dark lord
places where this reality we know
is made to a grey place
when compared to them
And, as I turn each page
and the story sinks in
I feel a joy in my heart
a desire to go on
and a desire to be there
You may have your heaven
when I die
I wish for Middle-Earth
or Narnia
I wish for magic
