Worlds Within Worlds Poem

Worlds within Worlds

by Mary Margaret Park

Worlds within worlds

they are ambassadors and hosts

in toto liaisons

to colonies we rarely notice

like an invisible circus

they fly through the air

their abilities are magical

imprinting every living thing they touch

they are the legends of old

and the hysteria of the new

powerful and invincible

they’ve changed cities

altered landscapes

and stolen harvests…

all of these things and more…

they didn’t make a single sound

their passage

un-noticed
