Engrained views within a mind.
Of a muse' of experiences defined.
Looking within through alluded panes,
Of the many windows in life's reign.
Many scenes lamented or admired.
Come into play of memories inspired.
By the stoic visions emblazoned there,
A glowing flowing helicon faire.
Falling short in the face of facts,
let down fails what imagination has.
Cerebral palaces of the mind,
As well as nightmares self define.
Inside the mind's tendril forest depths,
Exists more than mere reality accepts.
