Sometimes you can see it

When the night is dark,
Terror feeding the frightful
Vision before your eyes.

When reality falls out of sync,
And you join the ranks
Of a world of dreams, lurking in

The forgotten crevices of your mind.
It’s a world you know,
More familiar than the one you own.

So cross the border
Between the world of what is real
And the world of all things else,

A world, where ancient wishes
Materialise in forms of stone and gold
A world where myths and legends

Are spoken honestly, and not by fathers,
Who lie to make the world’s
Colours brighter.

Where whimsy runs like swordfish swim,
A freedom lies within this world,
A freedom to believe in wonders,

The world demands do not exist.
