Call to me Enchantress, Awaken! How long must you sleep undisturbed? What forms will you gather in the midst of my dreaming? Come to me Lucid waking life I watch for you On walks behind each bush, each tree through crowded room At times our eyes touch, electricity courses from my stomach leaving through my mouth in small gasps But the facade breaks, you flee I search you out and only during nights breath I run pursued by your many forms and faces... Ha! One nights day I may surprise myself Turning to face my pursuer You! Please come to me, show your true self, lead the way I saw your face in the mirror night last, vague and unpretty That time in the ice and snow was that your best? Remember! I followed your tracks You turned gazing at me with yellow eyes before bounding off Bending down, my hand inside the print of your paw seemed small A drop of blood red on a crust of ice suddenly convinced me of the reality Of that moment Tremendously excited throwing my thoughts to you I call come back... Stoic, still, yet razor sharp Only the green haze from the forest remained Another time I will follow But in in my excitement I lost hold on my dreaming Remember

difference between lucid and regular dreams and referring to her "muse" as the Enchantress, I was inspired to compose this.
