The pied piper’s eyelids slowly closed,
As he rested in the bowels
of the cypress tree.
Succumbing to
Sleep took but
An instance
Then
His dreams
Became reality
The purple moon
Surrounded by leaves
A glorious vivid delight to see
He’d happily rest here for an eternity.

I’d like to think he never lead them all off to their death 😦

‘tís all,
who listen,
to this tale,
of children,
piper taken,
distraction in,
purple haze,
you gaze,
you amaze,
the tune
the piper made,
like purple haze,
removed your children,
from your gaze,
’tis all,
not listen,
to the child,
now missing,
from this tale,
think not,
of purple
think not
of haze,
think not
of the tune,
the piper made,
and let,
each child,
shine bright,
for each
and all,
truly amaze,
‘tís this,
that’s missing,
do please,
listen
