A Portal to Imaginations End ...

Through the Avo green ferns, the bushes, the ancient trees,
a green building rises, clothed in olive hues,
its glass windows reflecting the whispers of leaves.
The door stands wide, an invitation wrapped in light,
a flamboyant couch waits, adorned in vivid patterns,
like stories etched into fabric, each thread a tale
of minds cradled in comfort, hearts alight with wonder.

Inside, authors spirits adorn old oak shelves giving the air a scent of the timelessness of their presences,
the shelves with books of all sizes, stretch to the ceiling like tall trees in new shapes,
a cathedral of books, well read and others their spines whispering,
Adventure awaits, none have already passed.

The air is thick with the scent of aged pages written by poets and writers of every kind and nature's truth lingers through the open doors,
These books just another example of words pressed into lifes permanence,
our dreams waiting to be awakened, to be finally let free.

Although a structure build with great beauty, this is no mere outhouse,
but a portal to imaginations unknown and to revisit lands once seen,
a library of hope, thoughts and dreams, where princes slay dragons, where fairies and genies grant wishes,
lands of sand and sun, enchanted kingdoms
where the soul finds its mirror
and the mind unfurls its wings.

There a beautifully hand crafted persian carpet with stories that mesmerize the eye and adorned with histories quiets at the doors open,
it's a symbol that this will be your journey and beneath your feet the carpet softly murmurs to deepening souls,
"Welcome, weary traveler. Come step softly into this sanctuary, let us fly away together in magic's spell,
Here, light burns not just to illuminate but to guide."
Lamps outside stand sentinel,
and statues whisper of immortality and permanence,
"We were here today; we will be here tomorrow."

Even the couch speaks, its vibrant patterns
telling of those who sought refuge,
whose weariness dissolved into warmth,
their burdens lightened in its embrace.

And whether you peer through its see-through walls,
or stand within its protective embrace,
the view shifts, unfolds,
becomes a kaleidoscope of perception.
Through its panes, the world takes on new hues,
seen through the lens of wisdom, insight, and imagination.

The green olive walls blend into the landscape,
a seamless union with nature’s gentle touch,
reminding all who come near:
"Here lies truth. Here lies knowledge.
Here lies the wisdom of the trees, the ferns, the soil."

This is no ordinary space;
it is a portal, a passage to worlds unseen.
Each book a key,
each whispering leaf a guide to enlightenment.
Here, the boundaries blur
the outside world and the inner one unite.
This is where beauty thrives,
where knowledge nestles in harmony,
protected by nature,
forever beckoning:
"Step inside and find yourself anew."
