Normal

When all else falls away
The longing deep within makes known
Looking back at possiblities gone
Regrets and dreams comingle
Where are the opportunites of old
Where have they all gone
Before me now only plodding normal
Nothing shining, nothing glittery
The future once so unknown
The path once twisted delightfully
Now all is straight
No more pitfalls to navigate
The loss of the unexpected
The gain of stability
How in my love for chaos has this happened
Where did the magick go
Twilight has faded and night is over
Dawn is past and the light is all around
So much possibility
Yet no more surprises
Where has the mystery gone
Where did the magick go
It must be found to unlock the gate
Leading to the garden
Where the seeds of growth are planted
