I am moving to a different state
and you won’t know my name.
The state is not one on the map.
It’s one of little fame.

The state is full of flowers
and sky’s of powder blue
trees blossomed up like Springtime
their limbs reflected in cool pools
of enchanted mountain water
clean enough to drink
where I can swim
a boat can float
neither of us sink.
And feathered clouds like pillows
where I can lay my head
relaxing in celestial harmony
as the lovely world rolls by.

The motto of this place is nice –
“Welcome” is all it says.

Ringing in the ear of mind
are softly tinkling silver wind chimes –
the state song sung
the bells are rung
and all of them in rhyme.

and sky’s of powder blue


I'd like to be there... absolutely wonderful iliana.

Sometimes I'm so glad one's state of mind
doesn't include an area or zip code...
that way I can't receive junk mail or telemarketer calls!

I like this very much Jo.  Thank you!

I've heard it said that we should all mentally prepare a place - our own special place - and yours sounds wonderful.  Hold that thought!

jo,
  I can't believe I didn't post to this, as I really, really liked it!  Can I move to that state too?  Please, as your little sis,
won't you take me along?
  Very creative write;  you're so crafty!
