Over the mountains far off crest
Twix rivulet and craggy knoll
There’s a place of certain rest
Solace for the troubled soul

To walk the path ’tween breezy clouds
To sip the air of freedoms thought
Thinking forms in huddled crowds
With this vision dreams are bought

In that place where dreamers dwell
Hope stands yearning to be free
Come and sip of this clear well
And misty forms of life you’ll see

Parted friends in vapours cloth
Waiting in this distant land
Drinking of the streams clear broth
Waiting on the time…. of sand

That rocky path you seek to climb
With faltered step upon the way
This glittered prize is so sublime
Dissolving on that crowning day

Thanx to you all for your kind responses to this one.
A bit experimental?
