Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time
Deep within my mind

A thought was born like a spark to fire became a living theme
It grew and reproduced into a world, a magnificent wondrous scene

It is bright and dark, both large and small
It is everything and nothing at all

There is music and dancing
Love and romancing 

Hatred and fear 
Mocking and snears

Benevolence and mercy
Grace without controversy

Color and action
Bland and retraction

Imagination abounding 
Variation resounding

Horrible, wonderful 
Hideous and beautiful

What a curiosity of luminosity
 And darkness and atrocity 

The human mind a fanciful and tragic
Factory of imagination fantastic
