A Layman's Quest

The layman lays himself to sleep
In dreams he rides on clouds that weep
Through the greenest forests by a bound and then a leap
Over mountains high and in oceans deep.
The layman’s quest runs far and wide
The best and worst; they coincide
Winning epic battles of his pride
This walk he’s taking is deep inside.
No words of wonder and no Wizard’s tales
If you trust it enough happiness always prevails
Storybooks and fairy tales land you here; a voice of sales
You sleep to dream your layman quest; on your coffin hammer the nails.
Death runs rampant and dangerous
Nightmares believed to be serious
In a daze, he speaks as if delirious
To fade away, the layman’s quest ends mysterious.
