I Toll the Bell

In the vortex of a thought
Lives a place that I have wrought.
An Island shaped a Christmas tree
A fantasy of dreams I see.

A place of existential core
A place where Eden marks the door
A garden full of warm surmise
A place I hide my hidden sighs.

It is a gift of my declare
And I in true its only heir
The only other in this place
Is my love of perfect grace?

It is the Shangri-la I go
The Eldora do that I know
The manifest that stays my strife
The Golden Fleece that saves my life

It is the tolling of my bell
Without it I would be in hell.

JM,
Lets see you said Shangri-la not Eldora do,
I wouldn't want to go to the wrong place.
It's a date. WWRS

Sy

I have a place like this
sealed only with a kiss
decorated with heart song
where I know that I belong

I just can't write it so pretty
