You’ve been given the ability to build a magical tunnel that will quickly and secretly connect your home with the location of your choice — anywhere on Earth. Where’s the other end of your tunnel?
THE TUNNEL
A house at the edge of the block
Covered by bushes and trees
A scary place to walk by at night
Can make you feel so ill at ease
And inside lives an old woman alone
Who cares less about the outside view
She’s heard all the scandals and stories told
She smiles, because she always knew
That she is the only one who has
A secret place given only to her
A tunnel which brings her life alive
Which she sees clear, not even a blur
When she feels cast out from the world
She only need walk through that door
She lets the light guide her way
To there and here for never more
And waiting for her to say hello
With smiling faces of delight
Is all her family passed from here
And everything is finally alright.
