[hometext] => Inspired by the idea that is my dream room
[bodytext] => I wandered blindly Through the everlasting halls Sliding my hands Along the mansion walls Pressing past countless hours of night Fear far behind me Courage my light A wise old man Here did tell to me A tale of wonder In the Room of the Sea That there lie riches Beyond the wildest of dream In my quest I clung to my greed Desperate for gold My debt would be freed At long last The sun Shown brilliantly through As darkness fades away Black halls turn to blue To reveal a door I failed to see Into enchantment This soon would lead me Into this vast forgotten Room of the Sea Creeping cautiously Through the open door Lumbering my way Across the grimy floor My eyes leapt not to the cieling Or celestial design on the wall At the painting of a ship I gazed in awe A ship trapped in the clutches Of an almighty squall On the vessel I stood Alone in sheer dismay To the oceans depths This ship would sink Where forgotten my corpse Would forever lay I dived from collapsing ship Into crushing waves of sea A flash of white light Then awakened me When I awoke Off to my right Animals on shelves With cotton stuffed tight To my left An infants bed Confusion clouded each thought That swirl 'round in my head This wise old man Did lie to me Fooled me Forced mind's eye To scurry free Oh how could I not see That this magnificent Room of the Sea Was merely a child's playplace to be?
