The Archmage (Skullview)

Walking through the illusions of my Thoughts, never realizing the consequences of failure Always chasing the voices that seem to enter My mind, haunting me, entrapping my soul I seek knowledge from the young man who Lives in the hole in the tree As I knock on the door, look into the window And notice that the young man is actually an Old man with a young mind He reaches out his hand in friendship and asks: “Do you seek the old man for knowledge?” The great art of conversation intrigues my thoughts He lights a lantern and leads me Through the forest to an opening in the ground A golden stairway guides our way To the center of the earth The smell of fire and the cold chill of fear takes over my body I feel lost in the center of my mind, for the Illusions appear to be a reality, not a dream I know that I must face the outraged dragon Who lives inside of my heart…for he must die
