Crystal (Workshop 2)

The young man sat all alone, deep in thought

He wondered if he could have the courage

to leave behind the crazy life he lived

For lately, he had yearned to change his ways

...but there she was again...in front of him

Adorned with crystals, bathed in mystic smoke

A vision he had often seen and heard

She comes quite suddenly, when he is weak

But he wants to change...so maybe this time,

he'll turn her down...but probably he won't...

 

"Come quick", she said in a hastened whisper

"Here now, I have an offer just for you:

Erase the past with just one finger snap

and leave the present where you now belong

I'll take you to the future if you want,

just do what I ask you, and that is all"

He paused just for a second, then he smiled

She begged him, "The white dragon...please, chase it"

His eyes glazed over, he's under a spell

He lit the match, and thus the chase began

He followed that white beast...to highs...to lows

...and to the land of disillusionment...

Where the white dragon reigned, king of the lost

But quickly it vanished, nowhere in sight

Defeated and exhausted, senses wild,

he found his way back in such disarray

 

...And there she was again, in front of him

She kissed his cheek, looked at him with a smile

embraced him tightly, then bid him goodbye

He could not stop her as she walked away,

just watched as she faded away from sight

He bowed his head, his tears began to flow

then closed his eyes and breathed the deepest sigh

So he'd been had again...when will he learn?

Nothing is ever what it first had seemed

For now, there's only smoke that's left behind...

nothing but crystals that's consumed by flames

...And the one thing that he can't seem to see:

Just a mirage was all that she had been,

an empty promise from a hazy dream
