I believe in magic, whether witch or troll
Or wizards dressed in pointed hats of old
I’d much prefer a goblin cause I know how I feel
And hobbits or a cyclops, even leprechauns are real
Give me genies in bottles and werewolves do appeal
And old vampires as my blood they’re out to steal
The problem with the cuties in the picture seen above
They are much too charming for a human like me to love.

Serendipity is how they described our love
The softly gone hour that passed by in years
Once strong and vital now only seen in tears
Remembrances fading and distancing thereof.

Never been much for large diamond gems
Too ostentatious is how I see them
Masses of stones on a person’s hand
I would prefer a simple gold band
Romance and love is the key
No need of expensive proof to me
Colors of amethyst, amber or garnet
Sapphires or emeralds would be my target.

Ever moving, changing hues of blue green with white frost
Oceans abound with shifting water
Swaying sailors’ cots as they drift on open seas
White billows soft as the night quiets the waves
Resting till sunrise when wind unfurls the sails to carry their vessels over the rippling salt.

We were all hoping for brevity as the so-called modern era of music enfolded at the retreat. The entire theme of the retreat was to be surrounded by quiet reflection. All of that came full stop when Mick walked up on stage to sing.

Everyone feeling lost
Heads crammed into small boxes of callous discontent
Wandering in an uncertain landscape
Stepping into an unclear future
What are the answers–the question they all ask.

Sweet dreams realized
Soft skin caresses
A midnight sigh
Heard by candlelight

In dreams I see all
Present, past, and future hopes
Some were realized
The mind is complicated
Sees some truth and certainty

The body displayed was indissoluble even in lime, causing quite a stir in the profile of the gathering, as mourners began to sway and chant. The eerie sound style of foreign words was causing some to moan in disbelief. The coroner had pulled every record of arcane burials concerning this occurrence but found no solution. A sudden symbol of the occult appeared over the open coffin causing many observers to faint. Luckily there was a doctor present and administered anodyne medications to the elderly in attendance.

Oh, James, I couldn’t possibly have a martini, as you can see the tea we had at dinner is making me bulge out of my orange dress! I think there was something odd in it, I’m feeling ill. It’s time to retire to our room. Stop eyeing the police at the door, pick up your winnings and let’s go!
