Metathesis

A transference to valleys green
Where ego's go to be serene.
Where battles and the battlements
Dissolve into the firmament.

Where lucid is an idol mean
Interned into desires scene.
Built upon a phantom shoal
To exercise aspires goal.

An Eden, a hideaway,
A garden, a place to play.
A kingdom in the stars to go
For only you and yours to know.

You make the rules in limped pools
With fantasies exotic tools.
Wishing on a wishing well
A magic wand to wave a spell.

To clear to clean the mortal scene
To sweep the mind with mescaline.
To change the doldrums brake the chain
Moralize the mind from pain.

To hear the nightingale in song
Plant the right replace the wrong.
Hear the music in the clouds
Dissipate oppressive crowds.

To spend some time in shangri-la
Wherein the mind is never far.

I need not dream of shangri-la no more
for Ive just been there...
