The World in My Window

If I were to

I found this and placed it in front of my study desk, against my window. It's made of wood and probably weighs ~3kg. I've always wanted one, a world map.

I found the World today
thrown out and discarded by the cobbled pathway.
Looking lonely by the ancient TV
it stood proud and perfect.

Enchanted, I knelt by it
and caressed its printed lands.
My mind roaming free
I looked for my loved ones.

I pressed my ear to the flat, wooden World
and listened to its many seas
I heard the wailing sad songs of the whales
the plaintive voice of the forgotten.

The unwanted World I took with me
and placed it against the glass
so I may view the World from my window
so I may smile and whisper, "Someday" everyday.

  2. Me too! Haha. Will probably get Adi a spinning globe when I get back to Malaysia. Thanks for the idea. I've been wondering what to get him. I'll stick a sticker on Australia n Canada so he'll know where me & Arif are studying (poyo tak? hahah).
