the view from above
hillocks with red towers
rolling uplands
in the middle a wishing well

further south a little forest
thick and dark
hiding a fiord
narrow and dark

at the entrance a wishing chair
sit there gently
and peace and pleasure comes
slow at first then a torrent

travel to the pool
watch you don't fall in
its slippery no grip there
just walk round the shore

dark surface so inviting
just slip in
skinny dip, why not
there's no danger

water embraces you like velvet
soft and gentle
dive down get immersed
become as one

back to the surface
very awake
scared' shocked but happy
climb up into the light
