A flight for light

Dawn – when the world swims through dreamverse, when the early risers walk round the park, when a new day beckons, full of possibilities…
He stands in front of the magic mirror, staring into the eyes of the reflection, looking for answers to questions he doesn’t appreciate, searching for sandcastles…
Realization strikes, the clouds are nowhere to be seen! He needs to fly again, out come the wings…
Looking into the magic mirror, he straps on his wings- a flash of light & he’s back on cloud nine! The night is still young…
Crimson sandcastles - the smaller mysteries shrink down to insignificance, mere specks of dust…
He steps out into the light, the clocks wind frantically, monsters piercing into his soul…
Enslavement is not an option. But to what? Convulsions within, he won’t give in…
He steps into the timeless tavern, and he’s safe again. No more monsters, no more winding…
“Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who will be the first to fall?”, Too easy, the mirror looks on with pity…
It pours onto the chair and morphs into dreamverse. Suddenly he’s flying, he knows how to…
The dreams start to push their weight around, the monsters can wait…
And so he joins them again, hope and patience kill the monsters yet again…
It’s all falling apart, shreds of timelines past, what-ifs dancing around, no place for the monsters…
They sit on the sidelines, biding their time, as they have for ages, smiling at the irony of it all…
The ring sings the songs of monsters, they come bursting through the gates of the castle…
Alas! Still no room for the monsters, as the flight begins yet again…
From dawn to dusk, he flies over and looks to the earth - his home, his city, his world, his universe…
Darkness all around, the light from the hills is too bleak; he tries to grasp it but in vain…
Deflated, he collapses onto himself, like a human black hole, but it’s all too slow…
Time has stopped. He’s flying but he sees nothing, there’s no light, all sucked into the darkness…
The only thought surrounding his world is “Why”. The answers still don’t show themselves…
Out comes the magic potion, one sip and suddenly he sees the lord of light…
He’s terrified, the darkness had become a part of him and the lord suddenly wasn’t welcome…
He is torn, suddenly paralyzed, his telepathy failing him, the lord far off on the godly island…
He looks with hope at the magic mirror, it morphs into a transporter. Excited, he hops in…
Alas! The lord fails him. Just when he’s about to be consumed, he sees a flicker…
He’s spent by the time he reaches the lord. He looks onto the lord while catching his breath…
The lord ignores him. He’s missed the chance, the darkness is everywhere, there’s no hope…
He feels the darkness piercing his soul, it consumes him completely, nothing left but nothingness….
He wanders into Netherworld, lost souls floating all around him, he senses a strange kind of peace…
He finally meets the lord of darkness, and starts seeking answers right away…
The lord looks onto his youngest child, sporting a wicked smile, and endarkens him…
The answer my friend is blowin’ in the wind, the answer is blowin’ in the wind…
