The place beyond the ordinary

The prompt for What's Going on is Creations so I created a poem of a place beyond the ordinary

If you can imagen it the path is already beneath your feet













The Koru is a spiral shaped Māori symbol which means new creations or new beginnings. It is based on the unfurling fern.


The place beyond the ordinary

I dwell in a magic forest
where the spirit of love
rests on the bluebells,
cradled by clover
holding a lotus flower
that blooms untouched
by its surroundings.

This is the land
where dreams rise
beyond the ordinary,
where the extra is born
from the fertile soil
of imagination,
painted across the sky
of existence.

Here, the koru
of new creations
lifts its green fern head
into morning light.

I wake to butterflies
dancing at dusk,
to the silver chime
of the bellbird
in the drifting mist.

Sunrays tiptoe
across my heart.
In their golden glow
a place appears
where mysteries
become known.
