A Knock on the Door

When was the last time you
Had a conversation
With the moon?
Or made a wish
On a falling star?
Held hope from a string
Of delicate things?

When was the last time you
Got lost
In an enchanted wood?
Or were kissed by a prince
Who turned into a frog?
Consulted a caterpillar?
Or kidnapped a myth?
Had a visit
From your faery godmother?
Who turned pumpkins
Into coaches
And wishes
Into wings?

When was the last time you
Cried lost tears
Into the lake of longing?
Or sipped inspiration
From the pool of wonder?
Or rose, victorious
Like a phoenix
From the ashes?

When did you last
Lay your head in the lap of awe
And listen to a song
From a distant shore
Called home?

The time is now
Leap
Soar
Explore
Remember your dream
And unseen things
Sing with rapture
And dance, dance,
Dance like a dervish

And when imagination knocks
Open the door
