Let the words flow slowly by
Drift and dream your time away
Pass though the portal with your magical eye
Drive on through to the other side

Correct the line with a little rhyme
Bridal the horses of war with your phrase
Detect a mention in what you can say
Deliver the truth on a platter of clay

Surrender the false and let it ring true
Remember the place where it all began
Don’t get lost in the words on the page
Tear them apart with a dulling rage

Take the splinters and make them whole
Install the spline in a deliberate way
Spell out those drumbeats you care to believe
Ransom the rest for a bottle of ink

Remember to tell us your treasured thoughts
Carry the banner and hold it on high
Watch as the moments slowly pass by
You can be just the same without knowing why
