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
