Do you ever get a feeling,
of something not quite right?
That an adventure’s going to happen
and maybe tonight’s the night.
As the feeling grows inside you
almost too much to bear
you shy at your own long shadow,
then suddenly it’s not there….
You feel magic all around you,
touching the hairs on your skin,
whatever fate has stored for you
you wish it would simply begin.
The air crackles with foreboding
as forked lightning strikes outside,
you hear thunder in the heavens
but there’s nowhere near to hide,
You stare at the copper lantern
you polished a few seconds ago,
as you rubbed three times, you wished a wish
Can you remember it? I Do Hope So!!
