THE LAND OF CANTERBURY Date: Monday, 8th May 2017 @ 06:48:55 PM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: hray42 there is a far off land in the back of our dreams it is the destination for long lost memories a place of starlight and glowing moonbeams a place we have to search for through many crooked trees it is there that we will find pixies, ogres, and elves hiding by a lazy brook or a meadow edge nearby cottages might hold potions on their shelves and possibly, counted sheep will be falling softly from a ledge it is in this Canterbury where humans have taken flight soaring through the air without purpose or need for wings something to make us dizzy, something to cause delight we land in fields of emerald, inhabited by tiny beings mountains appear and disappear under the wild sky where can be heard the foghorn of a passing ocean liner bottle rockets and rocket ships may come whizzing on by then, one might spy a pickaxe in the hands of a sleeping miner we never know what Canterbury ever has in store but it will be there whenever we visit our next time just keep cheerful with an arrival, and wait for nothing more Canterbury does exist, it is very real within the mind...
