~ WANDERING ~

Wandering minstrels play their songs
deeply within the secret forest
of my personal dream realm,
giving all the night creatures
a glorious serenade of light
that swirls and cascades
in rhythm with their lyres
Unicorns with golden wings
conduct their sacred rituals
in the silvery moonlight,
with the willing and playful
spells of the Faeries of the Mists,
who sparkle their tiny crystal wands
in order to create mystical visions
The Keeper of Time spreads pixie dust
everywhere as he travels on his rounds,
and gives courteous notice to those listening
that a village meeting would be held last evening
and he hopes that we would all be able to attend,
unless, of course, we have already made plans
for our yesterday and the day after tomorrow
The Senior Magician of the Court of Spells
and her protégés are busily involved
with plans for a mysterious event
which they hope will tickle
the elves and pixies
into the dance
of forever
And the Grand Wizard of Awes
weaves masterpieces of land and sky
for each and every sunrise and sunset,
and renews us all with a rainbow
as a sign of his trust and faith
in our magical and loving
Sanctuary of Spirits
Oh, how I long for my home,
away from all the chaos
of the temporal world,
and to finally flow into the arms
of my hopes, dreams, and destiny
along the Shores of Forever
