I once heard a story an aeon ago. Of what laid within, the youngest page knows. A fairy tale of knight and maiden, the dragon at the top, Was lost within the sun-dried world, forever stopped. The book, her mouth was sealed shut within a film of dust. Oh child, let your mind, your thirsty mind, release its lust And pry her mouth open yet again. A sated euphoria it seeks to gain, For young minds are empty, yet full of an unending stream. I once heard a story, cut at the seams. I parted too early, for I a new generation emerged. Pray haps, my son, your mind, in place of mine, will surge.
