Have you heard the call?

 


Foundation.


How many hear the call and do the deal?


The Spell Caster. 


Are you missing something magical, in your midnight embrace


As you sit all alone 

Feeling lost and out of place 


Look out that window

If you feel unsatisfied, unwanted, or displaced 


Put down that phone and if you see Mother Moon trying, with beams of her bright moonlight


To show you a way


Beseeching you to look up high, into her glorious, night sky


If you see her angel shaped clouds, slowly part, and start to play 


You'll hear my soft voice, whisper and say


"Want to escape from your daily routines, today? 


Come open up, and find my portal, and eternal doorway 


By any old trees nearby, that I've commanded to sway


To follow that compelling feeling, to pay the toll 


To step through and be mesmerised 


Like my old muse,

Called Dorian Gray 


Who to me,

Once sold his soul 


When he too followed, the angel shaped clouds, at play


To open up my portal, and eternal doorway 


By those old trees 

Nearby


That I commanded to sway
