A gold framed,
magnifying glass,
found deep,
in the forest,
of light beings,
who mysteriously vanished,
into thin air,
with the notion,
of a new place,
to consider as a humble abode,
Victory,
had arrived through,
the death of chaos,
that once plaqued,
a peaceful kingdom,
of beings,
who knew that things,
could be different,
With a thoughtful twist,
towards the attributes,
of a better lifestyle,
they left,
a gold framed magnifying glass,
amidst the near to be,
naked trees,
during the fresh days,
of Autumn,
The illusion of time,
took a vacation,
and this shiny artefact,
was eventually found,
by a tired hiker,
with an initial purpose,
revolved around the act,
of quenching the thirst,
Aside from a necessity,
to survive,
he looked through,
the unscratchable lense,
and saw a world,
of talking water drops,
in the air,
that proudly carried the messages,
from tree to tree,
Is this what the world,
really looks like?
Had I been blind,
to the beauty of this Universe?
Such queries,
floated around,
the limited capacity,
of his mortal brain,
for hours and hours,
Despite the pulsating aches,
of exhausted legs,
he took the excitement,
of the moment,
as a newly discovered excuse,
to keep moving forward,
The gold framed,
magnifying glass,
was never taken away,
from its home,
It still shines,
to be seen again,
