the darkness slowly clambers back across the morning's
field
fulfilling a fate that seemed long ago sealed
away from such tempered time my soul was worriedly
wheeled
and I was forced to question my clarity of mind
when it had not yet healed
I relive every indecision lurking behind the hellishly
tinged nightmares
and I purposely avoid the onset of the coming day
to free myself from the steady stream of strangers'
stares
the lost city of Eternia is a place of described peace
and prevailing ponder
some sullen souls, like myself love to dream of its
existence and through fanciful wishes onto its tempting
terrain we worship to fully wonder
I see this said place as a haven where the lonely go
when they feel the hands of self hate and doubt begin
to tingle and tighten
maybe through God's glory and just a little self love
these lost children we could somehow manage to
enlighten
long ago it was written there once was a shepherd boy
whose soul became deluded and 'DISENCHANTED'
but through the generosity of God's grace
a new lease on life he was graciously granted
from that unforgettable moment on he lived the life
of the quiet, the courteous and content
and back into the DISENCHANTED he never once again
ventured nor went...............
