Drive...A Fairytale

Bowing pliancy
Trees on twin roadsides
Guarding my grateful adventure
In homage to the unknown
Stretching to keyhole horrizons
The end of the road unknown.

At the world's end it seemed
The trees change character
Roadside Gods and lofty guardians
Turned to twisted stumpy dwarves and monster hands outstretched
To catch my speeding self.

Gnarled wands in withered hands of   wizards
Intimidating  cautioning
Guarding the secret grail.

My  find is reserved
The treasure is so
By definition of the hunt.

What you seek
Is only what you find.
And what you see
Isn't
What you get.

The music mystical in the breeze
Chose itself with magical ease

And two picaro lines
Flaunted my paraded fears
To face themselves
Unmasked
Somewhere on the maze
Of the merry go round brain....

Matador your bull has charged
What's your defense?

Two lines of wreckage recovered salvaged my shell
Hoisted the sails
of  shipment of dreams
Making me apt vessel.

"Lift me up"...
"For we will never be here again..."
From two  different songs......
They're and have been my milestones all along
They're the trail...

At the end of the world
I found the third
It worked the charm
Close to midnight on the edge of the town.
And it  dismissed thevugly spells
Then the wizards revealed my lost tale.

And it told
"You can do magic Anytime...
be Anything your heart desires...Magic"

I have pulled my rabbit out of the hat and watched the white dove
Escape.
Magic has served me well
I have never been this close to loving myself.
