The Battle

Wish upon a falling star
pray and pray again
Freedom from the forces of what was and might have been
Follow the path of yellow brick
journey beyond measure
valleys of darkness overcome to find the hidden treasure
Pause beside the wishing well
hope tossed in the wind
reveries to be set free
sorrow to rescind
Build a castle in the clouds with beams of light and laughter
blinded by the wheres and whys
the silence that came after
Search within the crystal ball
echoes of the past
Behold the cost of dreams now lost
youth gone by too fast
No longer chase the leprechaun
led by others' greed
nor seek the rainbow's end in reckless hope to fill my need
But step within the looking glass
part and counterpart
join forces in the battle to save a dreamer's heart
