A picture of an ancient palace
I got from a travelling friend
a dream place I will never see
my mother told me stories.
One emperor stood emphatically out
from that faraway fantasy land
a dreamt up fantastic man
whose world did not resemble mine.
My mother's morality mindful tales
were enthroned and encouraging,
yet I knew they were fairy fables
to germinate in me a zest for life.
