The Magicians Flute

The magicians flute

The magicians flute 
the stage is set 
high up above Homeric gods 
sit amongst the clouds 
like Blake’s image 
of a greybeard elder 
holding a compass open 
and looking down On mortals below 

Now are you sitting comfortably 
the ceremony of symphonic joy begins 
let Merlin and his magic take you in 
the story of   trials tribulations quests 
and the lessons of fear and doubt 
of love and magic spells 

A handsome prince with Magic flute 
that sings a music that wills the owners wills 
of Guinevere the lovely Queen of the night 
ancient myths of Jedi knights 
dragon’s  swords and fire 
like Frodo and his magic ring 

He has a philosopher’s stone that rules them 
in an opera over four hundred years old 
a feast of arias fairy tales and alchemy 
of fools and kings and maidens 
of sacred chords 

Through sacred rites 
of Magic spring that comes alive 
with music to our ears 
and illuminates the mind 
in the tempest of the dawn 

Through his rites of passage 
he meets the lady of the lake 
and traveler’s on the road 
mans inherent search for the mythic real 

Like the grail and Excalibur’s 
the test of life we wonder 
like blood upon the rose 
where science and alchemy unite 
dreamers of dreams 
leave there footprints 
on the sands of time
