The Visible Thoughts Advent Calendar, Day 19

It’s door 19! Christmas is creeping closer! Today’s excerpt is from a poem on about that most special journey. The one which takes us to the most special moments and people. It was written based on a prompt from a friend.

Tonight Poets’ Corner are back at Eleto Chocolate Cafe, come for an evening of poetry performance and open mic, with a little surprise thrown in to!

I could draw you a map
But you would not find it
I could send you on a train
But you would not reach it
I could give you a telescope
But you would not see it

This place is the diamond
In the street
The good fortune
You are blessed if you meet
The search of countless explorers
Blind and doomed as their steps they repeat
