The Way My Mind Works

The way my mind works,

it doesn’t take much

for me to spin

a pretty stone

into a

talisman

that must 

be thrown

back

into

the stream

that imbued

it with old,

healing magic

to release it

from an ancient curse

that warped its purpose,

but the stream has dried,

so some brave soul

must take the quest

to restore

the waters

to free

the stone

and

restore

the land

from its dark

barren state

to its former

bountiful and 

transcendent beauty

for all to behold.
