I’m in the mood for a little fantasy today … so tired of our everyday drone of ‘reality’… —LE

Magician’s Quest

wish upon a star for
the din of wolves frolicking
for lost mysteries and dragons

with cold steel held captive
by even colder magic, tied to
the crimson mists of ravensong

with the blazing backdrop
of the unquenchable sun
with smoldering energy reigning

for the wolves, for the thrones
to hunt for the dragon king
under the whispering door

for the song of silver for
the flame of night
for these violent delights

there’s immortal longing
in the ruins of the dwelling
where lived the mage’s daughter

there lies a golden key for
the servant mage, to another
timeline for the final page
