Once (long ago) Bewilderment,
aside the bright clear flowing stream,
did host a special tournament
where all could come compare their dreams.

Which so did shape and change the land,
that even now there still exists,
one part of that which was so grand,
atop the mountain in the mists.

It's rumored that upon that spire,
that overlooks the town below,
one still can see a ring of fire,
though these days few would care to go.

What's left of two who dared to boast,
that theirs must be by far the best,
and so did battle 'til were toast,
now layed to their eternal rest.

It's said their dreams did light the sky,
with colors of such intense hues,
that none could watch with naked eyes,
unless their sight they wished to lose.

Such imagery they both displayed,
'twas if born of another world,
'til Zeus himself became dismayed,
then in his anger, lightning hurled.

Those foolish dreamers in their pride,
chose not to leap and so were cooked,
which may have helped me to decide,
to paint my dreams into this book.

WOW!!! BRAVO!!! Ohhhhh...I can see how you were inspired, for I am always enthralled by the beauty of Greek mythology and ancient art, this is sooooooo dazzling and I find it amazing how we can be bewildered by such dreams and beauty of this era. (BIG HUGGGSSSSS) I love it, sweet friend, this is fabulous! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet William, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
