Vanguard stood over his charge, giving him the go-ahead.
The soldier was unmoving, did he not know that he was dead?
You are alive now, Vanguard told him telepathically.
Why are my senses more real now? Asked the warrior Travish Lee.
Arise and follow, Vanguard said. I will take you to Portal three
Travish was barely aware that he was more than alive, now free.
The battle had been immense, and impactful. His body on the ground.
Travish felt self-conscious as he took a long wistful glance around.
Did the others know they were deceased? Where were their souls now?
They follow other spirit guides, angel said. He read his mind, oh wow!
Travish followed the angel to a glowing circle in the battlefield.
Right through it too, unsure of course, what this orb would yield.
He was in a land of enchantment now, a place of colors he had never seen.
Colors they do not show in the earthly world, where men can be so mean.
As he approached his soul committee, his heart leaped up in the air.
He was home! He remembered this place now; where everyone does care.

IN THE LAND OF ENCHANTMENT
Once upon a time, in a land far away
There lived a world of magic and play
A fairytale for children to escape and dream
Where the impossible was more than it seemed
Enchanted forests full of fairy lights
Flying carpets, unicorns and dragon flights
Wizards casting spells with a flick of their wand
Mermaids swimming in the depths of the pond
There were princes and princesses, brave and true
Fighting dragons and monsters, even a witch or two
The heroes and heroines all had a quest
To save their kingdoms and prove themselves the best
Friendship, love, and kindness ruled the realm
A world of wonder, where anything was at the helm
A place of hope, where dreams could be found
Where courage and imagination knew no bound
In this fairytale for children, there was always a happy end
Where good always triumphed, and evil would bend
A world of magic, where anything was possible
A place to cherish, a land to inspire and marvel.

My first name is a sonnet interwoven through the generations of yesteryear.
Observant eyes see through the shroud of ill-intent. An insatiable hunger only succumbs to the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. Trials and tribulations have made me incapable of relying on others. A hopeless romantic dwells within my heart’s chambers.
Sister of soldiers. Daughter of a devil. Mother of the future.
Lover of equality, laughter, and art.
I feel the anger of the oppressed, the power of the survivors, and the stolen innocence of children.
I fear the fires of the unjust will consume us, the loss of cultures, and the destruction of the sea.
I would like to see a world without borders, races no longer separated by colors, and rights not imposed by religion.
The cool mountains is where my heart has found its home. Plateaus expand through the Land of Enchantment. Casting it’s magical spell upon those who stay too long.
My last name is the one given to me by a mother. Stripped by my husband. And restored by myself.

man and beast travel along gentle moon lit path,
pink land of enchantment shown in mind eye fair,
neighboring warriors sleeping off their wrath
ethereal future battle in the air,
spirit animal gives master a knowing stare

Each morning the song birds will sing,
perched on the evergreen trees so high,
little chicks tucked beneath their wing,
with a backdrop of the never ending sky.
A gentle breeze can be felt in the Spring air,
the warming Sun dries the dew on the ground,
young birds dive bomb as if they’re on a dare,
while their mothers watch with a sad frown.
Simplicity of life in mother nature is found,
in the creatures that roam the forest so deep,
land of enchantment if you just look around,
animals showing joy, sorrow and even weep.
The realm of reality beckons nature’s door,
mixing danger, excitement, joys and pain,
the sky is nature’s ceiling, dirt is her floor,
a place called home so constantly sustained.
The song birds reminds us of nature’s gift,
morning they sing the sounds of eternal joy,
their chirping give lonely hearts such a lift,
soon it’s muffled by playful girls and boys.

Sounds of silence, ever so loud,
in the dark of the darkest of night,
deep in sleep, mind lost in a cloud,
a rainbow of colors ever so bright.
Drifting into fantasy and illusion,
deep in the corridors of the mind,
reality mixes with utter confusion,
hourglass flows backwards in time.
Mystery of the dark held in sleep,
things occur that we can’t explain,
with memories not meant to keep,
and time travels faster than a train.
Lost in mystical, magical dreams,
going to place we have never been,
in the fantasy no ill gotten schemes,
where no mater what happens we win.
Land of enchantment start to the end,
the impossible is accomplished in a day,
filled with enemies and best of friends,
dreamland’s path shows us our own way.

Have you been to the Land of Enchantment?
When BALLOON all fill the air?
It’s early in October
And I wish that I were there
The dark BLUE SKY is dotted
With colors of all hues
All shapes and size and baskets
Most anything you’d choose
HAPPINESS is waking
To the sound of propane tanks
As BALLOONS now by the thousands
Take to the air in ranks
Mdailey 7/17/11
I lived in Albuquerque for 4 years and enjoyed the sight of balloons dotting the sky
just about any time the weather was good and the wind was calm. If you ever get
the chance to get to Albuquerque in October, be sure to stick around for this
festival. You will not be disappointed.

Walk with me through a world of beauty
A gift from God
Walk with me where the Vikings once roamed
Through the magnificence of her mountains
Into the fjords near Bodo
Feel the briskness in the air of Andoya
Trondheim has a beauty all its own
Checkpoint Charlie is still the place to be
On a Saturday night in Stavanger
You can even pass through Hell
Going to the fly station in Vaernes
Lofoten Islands echo the sheer beauty of the land
Feel the welcome warmth of the people of Oslo
At one with nature, ride the Flam Railway
A country of lakes, mountains and Stave churches
A beauty surpassed only by that of her people
Memories carry me back to this land of enchantment
Troll can only make me smile because
I've had a glimpse of heaven.

Our minds rest
at the end of each day.
Our spirits intertwine
as we drift away.
A land of enchantment,
ahead we await.
A mystical place
to share is our fate.
Lost without you,
I blow stardust kisses.
Come with me,
I'll fulfill all your wishes.
Waiting for you
by the moon ,I will be
a trail of stars
will lead you to me.
With celestial magic,
here's wings so you can fly,
and some more stardust kisses
to light up your sky.
