Tale of Othila

A mysterious journey.

Such a grand place it was
Beyond the clutch of humankind
Free of the filth they bring
Still rings clear in my mind

Othila, it was called
A land of unknown location
A verdant reminder of earth
(Or at least the earth of old)

Her rivers ran clear
The air crisply clean
The land undisturbed
Life truly pristine

Living things so abundant
No fear of the unknown
I realized that to my mind
This was home

Why I was pulled here
By powers unknown
I stopped abruptly
Realized I was alone

Centuries passed by
But void of age
I was the only player
For Othila's stage

The dreams were sticky sweet
The hundreds of hours of play
Time was on my side
I made the most of my stay

Never was I hungry
Nor in need of drink
Nothing to worry over
Just time to plainly think

Yes, still fresh in my mind
As if I was still there
Still sweet is the fragrance
So fresh is the air

Such a grand place it is
The greatest of all
I don't know how to find it
But, Othila, it was called
