The City of Mist
The City of Mist lies in the east
 where mermaids and goblins enjoy a great feast
 And no such common folk as humans step foot
 Except for me, who got to look
 
 I was walking by one sunny day
 When i heard the laughter of play
 So I decided to take a peep
 Then i jumped back with a gigantic leap 
 
 Roses upon roses were blooming in a field 
 And such a fine smell, in my memory I sealed
 There were trees and buildings towering tall
 It made me feel very, very small
 But such a sight, I've never seen
 A city without dirt, it was perfectly clean
 And that's when I noticed the pink sky above
 And the shimmering, shinning shape of a dove
 
 The bird swooped down with a razor sharp beak
 I could tell by its eyes it was desperate to eat
 The tiny people shook with fear 
 Embarrassing, I know, but I shed a tear
 Then I ran to the city where shops tower high
 I hid in am alcove and started to cry
 This City of Mist is oh so new
 But what really went on, I had a clue
 
 Dragons roam the skies by day, the owls rule the night
 The sea is of the bluest blue, the clouds a fluffy white
 And the glowing mountains and evergreen forest
 The faeries and elves, playful, but honest
 The City of Mist glows, golden and glistening
 The mystical folk sit around listening
 
 The buildings there are made of brick
 And when i gave the a might kick
 The houses around me began to tumble
 And all the creatures began to fumble
 One closest to me pulled a string
 And everything vanished with a shrieking ping
 
 All that was left was the floating mist
 And a small piece of paper clenched in my fist
 And as i read it I began to smile
 I wouldn't be back here for quite a while
 
 For the City of Mist lies in the east
 Where mermaids and goblins enjoy a great feast
 And no such common folk as humans step foot
 Except for me who got to look

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.
