Will He Return?

---

Remember the Wiz?
The spells wove
In an arachnid web
Both tender and
Wickedly wonderful?

Remember the presence—
Now long gone—
Almost as if forgotten.

But almost…
Well, you know the saying,
And he shall never
Be lost to us
Who remain

Forever indebted
To his loving magic

Only one question,
Haunting as it may be,
Where did our Tony go—

His return,
Shall ever we see?
