Our Greatest Wonder

Who is to say that this
             is our only world?
I have walked in many,
wandered many nights
through the castles and mazes
            Dragons and demons
fairies and freedom
princesses and rebels
revolutionaries and dreams
            I have seen all and more
These are worlds of magic, of fate
of apocalypse, of reborn humanity
of endless mountains and oceans
            They are great beyond compare
for they make us realize that the world
we inhabit, the one we breathe in
is not what we wish it to be
            Books, my friends.
Books. Thousands and thousands of them
Words. Billions and billions of them
Each a key, each a portal

Each a world apart from our own.
