Pause on Polarity Interchange

When man suffers; 
'Fancy' is the call, 
Lacks eternity though---
Restricts the fall.

Dark decorum of life
 Takes down fancy's rhyme,  
Oh, it's not a "deceiving elf"
 Hopefully, all the time.

Blend of colour and truth 
With cultivated dreams
 What more can we call---
Surely a fancy it is!

Love, live and make belief
 It's all to have here; 
 Fancy helps with the rest ---
We rewrite and share!
