entering a world of wonder

stepping through the doorway
a sense of excitement, adventure,
entering a world of wonders
mysteries, history to be told.
 
rooms of displays, of artifacts,
our city’s noble history,
documents, records,
kept for the ages.
 
descending the stairs
into the lower level
the children’s room
of the Westfield Athenaeum.
 
finding adventures
in the biographies of heroes
John Paul Jones, Davy Crockett,
those who won the west.
 
within that place of wonders,
treasures, rich meaning,
preserving our city’s history,
our noble past.
 
falling in love with words
finding peace down there
opening new worlds
descending the stairs…
