Clive’s Vision


Sunlit land
Different from the old
A lovely bay
The sea
A green valley
Mountains
And a looking glass

In the mirror
Just the same as the real ones
Yet somehow different
Deeper
More wonderful
Like places in a story
A story you have never heard
But very much want to know

Every rock
Flower
Blade of grass
More real
I can’t describe it any better than that
