Writing Resources from Fifteen Minutes of Fiction

Land within the Land

I put anywhere at your fingertips; I wait for your command.
Tell me but once your heart's desire, and I'll fly you to that land.

Can one star be chosen from heaven?
One blossom from a cherry tree?
A single face in a garden of children?
One memory from life's cemetery?

I choose everywhere.

But...

Will just one drop of water satisfy
A rampant desert thirst?
Will just one note of dancing melody
Still a heart ready to burst?

I choose nowhere.

Then...

Is there more than all the mountaintops
And desertlands at stake?
Is there a world in the myriad faces
Rippling around the steps I take?

I choose here.
