There is a place of which I often dream A place where the people say what they mean Where hate and jealousy are never seen A place where love never turns envy green A place where tortises mingle with hares A place where the bliss is always aware We're naked as newborns and no one cares This dream world of mine is just a place where..... In my lovers eyes dwell crystal jewels divine In this place I'm no longer the swine It's a place where I can go back in time Undo the damage wrought on me and mine Butterfly kisses bestowed on my cheeks I close my eyes, there is no need to speak A world where I've no reason to be meek It's a place to run from a realm so bleak It's a place where exotic birds will flock A place that eats away the horror, shock With the freedom of a drifting boat undocked It's a secret place that I have unlocked It's a place that's home to the unicorns And baby caribou with velvet horns I have no more disasters left to mourn It's a place where I'm happy I was born It's a place where I am welcome and loved A place where I am never pushed or shoved Where I'm not a left hand in a right glove A place where I'm peaceful, and free as a dove A place that is kissed in bright golden light A place where nobody pettily fights A place where everything's lovely, day or night A place where I know things will be alright And then I come down ------------------ Thinking is just what a great many people think they are doing when they are merely rearranging their predjudices. |

Sounded like you had to force the rhyme a couple of times, otherwise very powerful. |

Shame we have to come down my friend isn't it? Ah, could there be such a place and could all the world be as such, it would indeed be eden all over again  |

This is filled with many lovely thoughts. Would be nice to find such a place as this! Only in dreams, for now! ------------------ Denise |
