Hours since you left me at the docks
Silhouetted in the eyes of the night watchmen by the soft moonlight
Water flickers back and forth,
Shadows dance across my face as I stare at the reflection
A world of fantasy I see in my eyes
Pirates chasing hidden gold
Dragons soaring high to the sun
Golden sands that stretch for miles
Blue skies that hold no rain clouds
Now and forever I will be lost in my head.

The last realm of magic exists out there somewhere
Where pixies, fairies and nymphs
All play together, in the orchids
The woodlands that stretch over the rolling hills
Dragons, the great sentinels of the sky roam freely
Soaring high into the azure skies above paradise
Great Lakes reflect their magnificent bodies
As far below unicorns drink their fill at the lakes edge
Thousands of the enchanted inhabit this land
Tears drop to the ground
Will this paradise ever be found?

Elves living high in the treetops share their homes
With the winged Imps and the great many magical creatures
That flit from tree to tree, chattering wildly
The hobgoblins and the dwarfs live in the forests
An at the base of the great mountain ranges live the giants
Everyone lives in harmony, a perfect world seen not by the eyes of man
How I long to see those skies
Gaze for hours longingly at the great majesty of the dragons
How I long to gaze upon the unicorns
Spend my days in endless wonder
Awe inspired vistas of the never ending.

Where has the magic gone from the world today?
Corruption, greed, anarchy, selfish desire
These are the things that have stolen it away,
The world we once believed
Forced out of our heads by others who don't believe anymore
Blessed are those who believe yet have never
Or may never see the last realm of magic.

I picture myself as a gallant knight
I live by the old code
The code of chivalry and honour
A code forgotten in the world of men
A code long since passing that has helped so many
In the magic realm however, it is recognised
When I escape in my head
When I ride my steed into the winds
Crashing through the waters of the great lake
Galloping over the open plains
Hooves pounding like thunder
Whooshes and blasts of warm summer air
As, shouting joyously, the great dragons swoop overhead
A heavenly chorus as they cry out to each other
Triumph builds in my voice as I cry out into the mountains

"I AM HOME.... I AM FREE.... I BELONG"
