“RETURN to FANTASIA”

In youthful days you’ve mistaken me
For some vague childhood memory
Of a reality that you never had
Leaving your eyes so hollow and sad

Someone had given you a beloved toy
Opened your eyes to find the vanishing joy
But you’d find me when you returned to sleep
Your friendship, your happiness I’d keep

Until the days your tears – not of wounded skin –
But were tears of hurts that came from within
Show your talent; give them a chance to see
That you could create a world of fantasy

Fluttering visions, fragments of me
Recollected into a world of Disney
In the land of ecstatic admiration
Arise the castle of aspiration
A stream of dreams would form fantasia
When your works were done you’d hear nostalgia
Return to me like candy to tongue
As life passed on you’d be forever young...
