Merlin Poem by Zyw Zywa
Merlin
I hum myself to sleep
with real dreams, fairies
around me, and a hedge
full of thorns
The owl calls, yes
I come, I go
away from hiding
from strangers
The white light carries me
through the summer fields, clover
grows in my footsteps
we are back home
in the real world
like when it started
and yesterday's life
is like a dream
