A World of Make-believe
Virginia Salter

through the window’s frame
is a world of make-believe
where anything can happen
anything can sing

just outside the glass
a picture so serene
where flowers grow and bloom
and butterflies a-wing

where music echoes love
and clouds fluff the sky
sunshine brightens tears
that flow when raindrops cry

possibilities await
in miracles sublime
dragonflies breathe fire
while grapes and roses climb

damsels search horizons
for the prince who would be king
as golden slippers dance
within each fairy ring

old moon lights up the night
as stars sparkle dreams
and rivers drink their fill
from effervescent streams
