When the Tales Awake

when the tales awake

where would you go to escape if the fairy books awoke ?
 would you run into a galaxy of mazes and stars
 and colors so beautiful that only the most innocent could tell of ?
 would you hide in a room with only the cowardly and then form together...

 in all your fear and make a mountain ?
 would you stay and play beautiful music and tell melancholy tales
 for Robin & Marion
 and the other outlaws ?

 would you leap into a thousand kisses
 or float into eternity ?
 would you laugh in the courtyards of queens and dance
 to the maiden's

 songs of unicorns and dragons ?
 or would you play games with all the children of
 the unknown fairy tales
 and guide Mili and be her angel ?

 would you laugh and cry
 with the winds
 and fly away with the swans ?
