Discarded Dreamer
Adrift on the sway
Of a silk errant breeze
Wandering out of myself
Sailing along dreaming too long
I encountered the grip of an elf
He looked in my eyes
And I swift realized
I had drifted much further away
Than I ever had dared
And suddenly shared
In his fear I was going to stay
I was really quite hesitant
No permanent resident
Becoming quite ashen and gray
He hurled me thru clouds
Of souls wrapped up in shrouds
As I desperately countered my spin
Slid thru the air
With uncertain flair
To consider the state I was in
Found the soul anchor line
This was cutting it fine
And thankfully reeled myself in
