To Dream of Magic

Determined

I strode on through the dark forest

Led only by the moonlight

Seeking more

A calling almost forgotten

The wind, the signs, the howls

It must've held meaning

Synchronizing to my hopeful wishes

Beckoning me to an ominous enclave

All was hushed abrubtly

As I arrived at this natural hollow

"Are you there?"

I knew it so instinctively

A looming shadow came to light

"Why are you here?" it asked

"The same reason we all come.

The same reason you came."

We disappeared

A flurry of surreal imagery

Flooded my eyes

As I was taken to another plane

The tornado landed us on an Irish cliffside

He looked out upon it

And knew what I had to do

I ran to the end and sprang forth

Towards the rocks and the waves

Only to glide serenely through the air

"You seem ready and willing

Can you leave everything behind

To be taken blind

On an endless journey into the mind?"

And so it began

At first with the Law

Then the Will

Then the Words

And it was all so spectacular

But the sky began to turn gray

Muffled footsteps sounded

And my Teacher turned to me and said,

"You won't forget

You won't remember

And you won't be able to use it

Until we meet again."
