My hand moves

Gently over the closed book

Almost tenderly

And turns the pages

Whose story is yet unknown

The crisp new pages

Of a world undiscovered

The reading begins

As my tongue tastes every word

Savouring the tasty morsels

Speaking them

Gently aloud

And the creatures come alive

In my mind's eye

The fairies

Flutter to every closed window

Trying to find a way home again

Through the door I have opened

With my tongue

The elves

Mischievous as they are

Tug at my hair

They want to go back

But this door I have opened

Leads only to a one way street

The water-nymphs

With innocent tendrils of blue

Flowing from their fingers

They yearn for their river

That is home

The story is finished

The hero victorious

The cover is closed

And the mirages have gone

Back to their world
