My Parting Wish (+1)

When lost inside a world of dreams,

the Muse becomes my guide

 

The days and nights stand juxtaposed,

the sun and moon collide

 

And though my eyes desert me now,

the past and future blind

 

My parting wish is not to wake,

—this sleep forever mine

Fates Arrow

 

I walked the path of

William Tell

 

An apple by my

side

 

And waited for an archer

strong

 

To match me stride

for stride

 

I placed the orb

upon my head

 

And stood against

a tree

 

And gave my faith

unto the wind

 

Fates arrow sent

to free
