Enchantment

Enchantment

In the tales of old
Way back when earth was new
And both man and beast spoke…

Dragons captured maiden so true
In a lair a dragon sleeps
While one eye stays open
So he could guard his treasure of gold

Wizards weave
a web of enchantment
Stare in wonder
As magic unfolds

Unicorns play in a deep forest of green
As the sun sets…
They finally settle by a crystal clear stream
And wish that all remains serene

Kings and queens reigned supreme over lands
While princes rescued princesses
From black magic spells
A true prince would only have to place a
Petal soft kiss
Upon a princess’ rosebud lips

Knights in armors of white
Where so bold
They’d raise their swords and slay all
The King’s enemies
Down, down
They go

Elves sing a merry tune
Underneath a starry moon

Dwarves dwell way
down a mountain’s bowels
Cutting precious stones
Some silver…
Some gold
Polishing them
Till they all ah glitter

Faeries fly all through the night
Stirring up mischief
Wherever they go

So it has come to pass
The earth is now old
And those mystical times are now all gone
They went by, so fast
And those mystical times now seem
Like a distant dream

But alas! Sometimes on a clear
Midsummer’s night
When walking down a wooded path
If you’re very quiet
You may hear or see an elf sing
But only if in your heart
You truly want to believe.
