The Hidden Kingdom
#1
Music 
Here is a tale of a kingdom hidden from plain sight.
Beyond the reach of imagination, a land is lost in time and reason.

Where wizards work their craft without prejudice.
Where mermaids and mermen travel through the sea like ships.
Where crystals light the inky darkness of the caves like lanterns.
Where horses have the wings to fly with the phoenixes.
Where the waters can heal wounds and illness, no matter how severe.
Where animals behave like us humans.
Where castles are like regular residences.
Where villages stand on water.
Where phoenixes rise from the ashes.
Where giants lurk high above the village.
Where dragons soar the the sky like aircraft.
Where the impossible is possible.

The fair queen of the land tells us that if we can access our childhood imagination, the land is easy to find. Turn right at the rainbow, and follow the shooting star to find this hidden kingdom. The kingdom lost in time and reason.

The reversals are interesting. Mermaids like ships, dragons like airplanes. Usually it's the other way around. Usually poets assume that mermaids and dragons are real, and planes and boats can only be imagined if compared to them.

I like the idea, My castle is a regular residence. That's not the line, but it made me think about the line, My castle is a regular residence.
