a magic bean

all I need is a magic bean
to plant in the garden 
my heart belongs to,
to water it with 
everything that dreams 
are made of;

all I need is a magic bean
to climb up the stalk
of this dream and reach out
for your hand
-pull me in

all I need is a magic bean 
to walk a pathway
leading to our world - serene,
to a world of green
-and every other color
a mantis shrimp has seen

to walk in to a house
quietly white
that we would call our own
listen to the birds sing
accompanying the magic harp;

all I need is a magic bean
to play hide and seek
midst the cloudy scene,
to let our troubles float away
as happy prisms rise in symphony
-calming the chaos within

all I need is a magic bean
to conquer an unknown kingdom
and liberate the devil from his spell,
to unravel mysteries unseen
to let an adventure begin

all I need is a magic bean!
