Once upon a rainy morning,
I lazed in bed and read,
Tales of lost magic kingdoms,
~ Mystic trails I once had tread.

Enchanting lands of crystal castles,
Bewitching folks of faery realms,
Of Merlin magic and wisdom sages,
Where spells were spun 'neath ancient elms.

Chivalrous knights were full of valor,
Their hearts beat brave and strong,
Saving maidens from snorting dragons,
And righting things gone wrong.

Fair princes doled out gold and riches,
To those who were in need.
The mighty kings were kind and gentle,
Who ruled with love ~ not greed.

Lambs and lions lay down together,
All men were one in amity.
Peace did reign in lands of bounty,
Inspired homes of charity.

Trees reached up to touch the heavens,
Fresh air was rose perfumed,
Gardens grew from fertile soils,
And flowers forever bloomed.

Unicorns roamed magic woodlands,
With garlands in their manes.
Rainbows spanned cerulean skyscapes,
After gentle, cleansing rains.

Once upon a rainy morning,
I lazed in bed and read,
Tales of lost magic kingdoms,
~ Mystic trails I once had tread.
