There Is a Place


There Is a Place


 


There is a place


 where the museum houses thousands of paintings


seen nowhere else in the world,


the colors so bright they grab your eyes


and hold you there, looking,


 


where the library is filled with brand new books


waiting for you to open them first,


to tell stories only you could know,


 


where fresh cherries have no pits,


where puppies never grow old.


 


There is such a place,


hidden deep


in me.


 


- Janet Wong
