My days and my nights are getting confused.
You might even say that I am bemused --
Bewitched by a charm that I cannot see
and betwixt a man and a warring machine.

But I’m not the only one or so it would seem.
Haha haha haha.

You see there’s another one, much like me.
She lives in a forest, not by the sea.
She sees things that are, and things that aren't free;
And she, too, stands between man and warring machine.

And we're not the only ones or so it would seem.
Haha haha haha.  

I know a third who is totally touched
She lives in a place called Salina, as such.
She raises her pen and it spells magic spells
And travels the wonders of rivers and dales.

We three are like sisters, and two of us are.
And we are between a man and a war.

Haha haha haha.

Might you know a fourth, it seems
who lives a land 'tween plains and dreams...
who sits still, but glows a beam?
Might you know of Oz, and green?

Oh my sister, how do you glow?
You keep hope and faith upon rainbows...
We keep love and more within jars...
yet you know the dreams, in stars...

Sunshine, )

Of course, there's a fourth, a sister, for sure,
Who tells tales of myrth, nature, and more.
She lives on the plains, but walks distant shore,
My sister, my friend, between man and a war.

That makes four, but I'm sure there are more.
haha haha haha

Of course those..,why, they are more...
they all walk long, distant shores
inland too, and talk of the brews
that bring poets to knees, that's for sure!

Smiling at you!
