Poetry.

Step by step, moving closer to the nothingness you
Intend on allowing to envelope and embrace you; while
Longing to fear the same said – and so your imagination
Vies for the chance to send you somewhere under and
Ever lower than that eternally fabled, wonderfully radiant
Rainbow. Awaiting your fears is an exquisite, infinite

Silence, looked upon only by Helios, the very sun
Himself. The fraud of the wizard is discovered – but
Only when the adoring masses set aside their
Emerald glasses to take up rosy lenses that are
Shining with the hopes of gazing upon a dazzling

New world. The true danger lies in the moment between, wherein
One’s eyes are laid bare, to truly see. Free to gaze upon all of
The timeworn facades, highlighted by the rotting

Rust covered gutters, the battered shutters grasping the
Undersides of long forgotten eaves of collapsing
Buildings. Beyond lies the webs of awkward cobblestone; and
Yellow, fading lines are merely suggestions, the remaining

Specters acknowledging where the yellow brick road once
Lay. Call upon the scarecrow, he has the brains to
Investigate the destruction and fallacy. The man of tin
Puts his heart and soul into pulling the puzzle
Pieces back together with the aid of the
Ever nervous but brave king of the Technicolor forest.
Remember, though you see the film in the real world, you
Should read the book- the book is usually better.
