when the lights went out
star after star after star
I sought inner light

I sought inner light
as the time warped before me
such good intentions

such good intentions
belie the great plan eterne
charity prevails

Charity prevails
Despite all the best laid plans
Of men who are mice

Of men who are mice

they know where the free cheese is

ere they bell the cat

“Be ready to pay the price of your dreams. Free cheese can only be found in a mousetrap.” ― Paulo Coelho

Ere they bell the cat
Santa's elves crept cautiously
setting up the sleigh

setting up the sleigh

elves scurry to hitch reindeer

for their epic flight

For their epic flight
baby eagles all aligned
time to now soar free

"Tyrants have not yet discovered any chains that can fetter the mind." - Charles Caleb Colton (1780–1832)

time to now soar free
my mind unfettered I sleep
a time for dreaming
