The Magicians' Box

In a world of towers and rock.... 
The sparks flew 
The colours had begun 
Falling from above, 
in to deepest night 

From afar, 
the sparks flew 
Falling into deepest night.... 
Unfolding the light 

On the wind.... 
The strangest things were heard, 
from the towers of rock 
The unfolding cloak 
The magician spoke... 
In words... 
The colour to invoke 

Down below 
The colour rippled... 
Moved so 

The sparks grew 
The beauty fell 
Unfolding the night too 

The rock began to glow 
Breaking the night 
The sparks flew.... 
Unfolding the light 
The magic.... 
Enchanting so 

Where the sparks fell.... 
A pool did dwell 
The colours reflected the light 
Lit up the rock towers 
Lit up the night 

The pool became a stream 
Everything to touched... 
Began to gleam... 
Began to glow... 
Became alive so... 

The rock breathed and sighed, 
the stars seemed brighter 
The magician smiled softly... 
A perfect eve... 
For the magic to weave 

He cannot live in night... 
Only moon and stars, 
enjoy a darkened sky 
A magician must have light! 

The darkness to cleave... 
On a clear nights eve 
Beauty fell from the tower of rock 
Sparks flew 
The living things grew... 
From the magicians opened lock 

With a golden key... 
He took the colours to me 
Flowing down, 
from a rock tower 
I felt the magicians power 

The power of light 
over dark.... 
Held in a magicians box 
In a world of rock towers, 
where sparks grew 
Where sparks fell... 
From a key that unlocks.... 
The beauty that will be free 
The colours , for you and me
