Have you ever been lostIn dreamy reverie?Have your friends laughedWhen they drew you upOut of some misty waken slumber?Have they chided youFor missing the obviousOr for forgetting your location?If so, then you are not unusual.But there are some For whom the call of dreamsSpeaks more loudly than the thingWhich others call reality.It seeps inLike an early fog Obscuring the prioritiesSet for them by polite society.And there they think they seeJust beyond the brume,The world which othersPretend to worship.Some are foolish still, Enough to lingerListening Deep beneath the sceneTo the silence -Daring it to speak.To some it does,God forbid!And calls them far,Far from home,Far from polite society,To the lands of legends deepTo harrowing questsThat threaten not only their livesBut their souls.There they fight with giantsNot only the giants Of the dark woodsBut the giants of their minds.And there they must keepA constant vigil Lest fears, like wolves, devour.But they are not aloneIn the land of dreamsFor the spritely spiritsAnd the friendly forest folk Of the woodWatch over the wandererWith deep concern over every footfall,Lest he dash his footAgainst a stone.He is one of theirsAnd they watch over himThough he see them not.Did you knowThat there are some So lost in dreamsThat they never return?These are the chosen few.And it is only those who travel far Who are blessedTo never come back.The end comes for themOn a distant planeOr in a forest deepOr on a mountain so highThat it is forgotten By townsfolk Like you and I,And then all at once, They disappearTo join the forest folkIn the bright glenThat is hidden Even from himWho seeks it mostAnd the more from unbelievers.And there they dance With spirits too real For human sightIn the splendor Of their vivid whiteness. And when they’ve dancedThe newcomers danceAnd feasted at the fathers tableFor a moon And some for the passingOf an age,They return to the forest deepAnd wander aboutSeeking some fellow wandererWho is fool enough To dream. You’ll have heardOf fairy rings I’m sure.But now you seeThe symbol in the thing.It’s one eternal round you know.To dreamer and the dream.
