User:Clio the Muse

What we see and what we seem are but a dream; a dream within a dream

I sent my soul through the infinite,

Some message of that afterlife to spell;

And by and by my soul returned to me and said;

'I myself am heaven and hell'

She Comes in Colours Everywhere

Have you seen her all all in gold

Like a queen in days of old

She shoots colours all around

Like a sunset going down

Have you seen the lady fairer.

She comes in colours everywhere

She combs her hair

She's like a rainbow

Coming colours in the air

Oh, everywhere
