The rambling escapist with clipped wings

Hold on to your green caps darlings~

Follow the trail to the light.
Gaily the drops trickle down.
She steps and skirts away
“Oh a snail” she says and sashays
“It’s cold tonight”
She frowns.

Follow the trail down the darkness
Purple orbs, glassy knobs.
You staying here or not
Leave for there shall we.
Hold on to your green caps darlings
Hop on. Laugh away.

Follow the trail to the light
See the yellows, see the pinks
Lucky ? You’ll see the King..
Do not bow. Do not listen to him.
Lucky to the king.
But not you just him.

Follow the trail down the darkness
Join the party. Join the fun.
No matter what the day is done.
Beautiful, lithe and fair
They shimmer without the sun
Go on Snicker, giggle, and Stare.

Follow the trail to the light
Pick up the Invisible shadow
Of the Pink Hornless Unicorn
Put it on. A cloak.
Be safe and warm. Be brave.
Retreat to golden showers

Follow the trail down the darkness
Trickery and guises
Hide under the willow
Listen and you’ll be wisest
Dance under the moon
Do this and you’ll never know old

Follow the trail to the light
Tears of the unbreathing collect
To resurrect and don’t forget
There is safety in numbers
Three seven and eleven
Just not two and you alone

Follow the trail down the darkness
Sleep tight no fear
You’re doing good and fine my dear
Stick out your tongue
And taste the air stillness
There is magic in the lightness

Follow the trail to the light
There she is stands again
Tall and dark and frowning.
Crying and pointing.
Didn’t you listen to her?
She said “No talking to the King!”

Follow the trail down the darkness.
Too late you’re marked for young
Join you have till the moon grows old
Put on your green cap and join the cheer.
And invite the new to the fold.
Come on darlings let’s go.
