Old fashion feelings
Playing tricks on the mind
A box full of darkness
And heart of sunshine
True methods of madness
Balancing cruel and kind
A princess without palace
And a few words that rhyme
A seed planted with promise
A weed willing to grow
Released from a subconscious
To be tossed to and fro
Scribbled on a canvas
Artwork on display
We’re no longer in Kansas
At least that’s what they say
So, come on Mr. scarecrow
Tells us what to do next
Somewhere over the rainbow
Or the next game of chess
Wherever the wind blows
You will choose what is best
If we relinquish control
And lock our hearts in our chests

Nice take on a classic work. I liked the references to 'The Wizard of Oz.'
