See my face the mask that lies
It's eyes are sparkling
It's smiling wide
Made of the hardest of metals
Forged in the hottest of flames
Behind it lies a void
Inside this hides my pain
The pain has a mask of its own
It hides in the dark of my heart
All alone
No one can find it
From shame it is safe
This mask is of crystal
One tear on it's face
Represents all of the dreams laid to waste
Magic, Faeries, Witches, Ghosts
Don't exist, some people boast
But they don't know just what is
We are small, Our world is big
Much larger than as it seems
For more resides in you and me
Seek within your mind and soul
To find the knowledge you yearn to know
Don't ask me to walk
To stalk or to talk
I won't cause i'm simply too tired.
Don't ask me why
I'll only just sigh
With a great big cry
I'm tired!
So please leave me be
For if you were like me
You'd know what I mean.
I'm too tired!
Walking down some alley
Or stalking through the night
Catching things of prey
Like lizards, rodents, rats, or mice
Each are very different
As daylight is to night
Some like to run wild
While others are held tight
It takes a special person
To talk with
To work with
To share with
It takes a special person
Who knows when to laugh
Who knows when to be silent
Who knows when to ask questions
It takes a special person
A person that cares
A person that knows just what to do
A person that is always ready to help
It takes a special person
Someone full of suprises
Someone who's fun to be with
Someone willing to do all they can
It takes a special person
To be a friend
To be a lover
To make a difference
In a land far far away
At least thats what they always say
Mermaids played deep in the sea
But it was a different world, you see?
Witches, dragons, and gryphons did fly
But here you will never see them in the
sky
And unicorns ran through enchanted woods
But don't think it's real, it'll do you
no good.
This is a world of work and of rules
There aren't any princes or magical jewels
You can find that world, I tell you no lie
And that wolrd can become this one
If your brave and do try
Live by your own rules and this world is yours
To bend into any shape, meet any cause
Anything can be, if you only believe
And never give up in the magic of dreams.
I walk along the beach
All alone bare feet
Along the waters edge
While all the all the world does sleep
I look behind, towards the road
Where all day cars go by
Those who care not for the earth
Later they shall cry
I walk along the shore
And soon the road is gone
In it’s place a forest
In my ears birdsong
As the moon plays on the waves
Around me forms a mist
My heart and breath in rhythm
And from this world I drift
On top of a high rock
Behind me are the trees
Before me lies a field
Beyond that lies the sea
In the field people dance
By the full moon light
Around a crater full of rocks
In which a fire ignites
The fire stretches for the sky
Out steps a Woman and Man
People cheer and sing for them
As they walk hand in hand
To the water they wander
Into the moon they fly
The People try to follow
At the shore they stand and cry
I watch then fly
And I too rise
Towards the moon
Through the sky
A silver light engulfs me
Within it I’m reborn
The silver light becomes me
And to this light I’m sworn
I awake on the beach where I started
Above me the tree branches sway
I know that the light is inside me
And will stay within me always
Children of the world
I love you all the same
I like watching you play
Your simple playground games
Mom and Daddy kiss goodnight
And lay you on the bed
Head upon your pillow
Dreams inside your head
But one day you’ll wake up
Innocent no more
No drapes to hide the sunlight
Life knocking at your door
You take some steps and stumble
Unsure how to proceed
You trip and fall, For help you call
The knocking your only lead
I know it’s hard to answer
The door that seems so far
You see your bed behind you
Resisting it is hard
The door is hard to open
The lock is hard to turn
The light is harsh and blinding
The pain is hard to learn
Yet it’s something we all do
And if you let me I’ll help you
To find your way and face the day
For life can be fun too
How can so many be so blind?
Jesus, Buddah, Allah, God and Goddess
Made all of us many shades
Of black, white, and red
But what does color matter?
American, Oriental, African
What does location matter?
We all have souls
There is no One True Way
There is no One True Color
There is no One True God
But there is
One Way, One Color, One God
All the different Ways together
All the different Colors together
All the different Gods together
Equal One
Does no one now feel the call
To hearken the old ancient ways
To pray to a Goddess as well as a God
To sit around hearth fires and say
That we are al one with each other
And that each person has their own way
This is how it used to be
When we lived by the old ancient ways
Then dominant people with dominant ways
Came forth from the mountains and seas
To burn and to hang all those who dared
To see things differently
So those voices that made themselves silent
And those with their pleas left unheard
Ran to the mountains and hid in the hills
Quietly spreading the word
That one day they shall resurface
But only when people are strong
So they can make their own decisions
And see how just one way is wrong
Today the silence is broken
And words long repressed do say
That soon we shall be returning
To live by the old ancient ways
Don’t ask any questions
Don’t bother, don’t try
It’s logic and science
That tells you the lies
Would you question a child
If you looked in her eyes
Simple understanding
Hiding behind
Would you question your heart
If it showed you the way
Or choose to ignore it
Suffer one more day
Would you question the stars
If you looked in the sky
Infinite darkness
Or chances untried
Don’t ask any questions
Don’t bother, don’t try
It’s logic and science
That tells you the lies
Follow your own path
Dream your own dreams
In life things are rarely
All that they seem
Magick is in everything
If only you would see it
The sun makes trees and flowers grow
Subterranean waters flow
Through your hair the wind does blow
And every little child knows
That magick is in everything
If only you would see it.
With a sword of light
to fend off the dark
With a sword of right
to fend off the wrong
With a sword of might
to defend those not strong
A lion’s courage
to stare in danger’s eye
A beaver’s persistence
from work not to shy
An owl’s wisdom
to know what are lies
Like a father, protect and defend
Like a Mother, trust and mend
Have honor and patience and never give up
Keep love in your heart, God’s holy touch
Where is my dream? Where is my knight?
Where is the one I've loved all my lives?
Two worlds severed by ages of pain
Two hearts once one, now split in twain
And what could bring him back to me?
For never was I a great beauty
Knight of the Shining Ones was he,
And I, a fairy commoner be
But return to save me he has sworn
To take me from where dreams are mourned
And together on that day
Returning through the gates of Fae
Yet I fear he may not come
The stars glow red and blood does run
Winds blow cold and my heart grows old
And through babe's mouths the end is told
The sword is lost, the king is gone
Hope is sheared and life is torn
A knife stuck deep inside my chest
And even with my dying breath
I close my eyes and dare to dream
My love's warm touch embracing me
And in death there is no pain
It comforts me as I wane
To know I shall return again
Mortal shell and fairy mien
To await my golden knight
After centuries, lives of plight
Finally all shall be made right
