They won't remember
All you were afraid of,
Only your great deeds,
and the goodness they were made of.

Let time slay all your dragons,
No curse cast will last an eon.

Death can strike you only once,
Legacy can illuminate forever.

I bent the rules
Whatever she asked for.
Three wishes,
Turned into four.
I rearranged the cosmos,
to shimmer in her eyes.


Eventually, she sent me free
& Found another friend like me.

So I wandered past a thousand dunes,
to find some new magic of my own.

Out of fear of eternity alone,
I wished myself back in the lamp.

Time is my treasure,
Thus I count the abundant seconds.

How can I measure
the value of a minute,
by what's contained within it?

Every day you've spent
on something unpleasant,
Who can refund you the moment?

It's only once upon a time,
We can't do it twice,
so THIS minute,
Is Mine.

They'll steal your treasure,
Expose your fault.
So fasten your heart,
in Courage's vault.

You don't need permission,
You're a completed creation.

Show them your weakness,
They will make you less,
Drag you screaming,
into their abyss.

Never before,
just once after that,
I caught her smirking.

You don't owe me anything,
You'd do the same for me.
And if I never get it back,
It wasn't mine to keep.

I spent my whole life trying to escape these old tracks.
Pining for a valley,
Lined with trees,
Cozy little chateaus,
Topped with tilted puffing chimneys.
The bed I dreamed of,
holds my rigid body.
I can't sleep.
I traded "from",
for "going".
Every night,
I still miss the trains.
