Revisiting Narnia

Writing poetry is still one of my favourite pastimes. :) A while ago, I decided I wanted to write some about Narnia... and this is the first one...

The Magician's Nephew

The wood between the worlds
knows no single time or place
and when I jump into a pool
the universe changes, too,
when we wander among stars
I'll let you forget who you are
because it doesn't matter anymore
once wishes really do come true
and while a single song resounds
in every language of your heart
a new kingdom will arise
in the dead of the night...
 
I could easily imagine this being adapted into a song that would be recorded for the soundtrack of a movie of "The Magician's Nephew"....that is, if the Walden people can ever be cured of their extreme allergy and phobia against admitting that Mr. Lewis meant Aslan to be Almighty God. Unless they can swallow this bitter (to them) pill, they WON'T ever make a movie of TMN. Or if they do make it, they'll somehow change it to deny credit to Aslan for creating the Narnian world. I would scarcely put it past them to say that UNCLE ANDREW creates Narnia.
 
Thank you, Copperfox. :) It'd be awesome to have this -- or something similar -- as a song on the soundtrack of my second favourite Narnia-novel, but I fear that perhaps filmmakers have too little imagination in order to pull that one off correctly. ;)

Currently trying to find some words for LWW... the core will most likely be about being forgiven, but I'm not sure on anything else yet.
 
For something to compare, see if you can track down a kind of pop cantata that was produced in the days of vinyl phonograph records. It was a musical telling of portions of LWW, titled "The Roar of Love." Performed by "The Second Chapter of Acts," produced by Michael Omartian, it came out sometime around 1973. Edmund's salvation story and Aslan's resurrection are the dominant material for Annie Herring's songs.
