I won’t go there no more, no more,
and tra, la, la, la, la-la
the August moon doth sing
from way up there in spirit sky
where ghosts and phantoms roam.

The words are written, so they say
no one can chase a dream away  
or rock the cradle, oh, just so
to still a restless need.  

And the beautiful isle of no man’s land
no longer a paradise
floats like a cork on oceans of fear
lest the nightingales all unite  
and fly over the moon
like shadows of gloom
pulled from the dark side of life.

I won’t go there no more, no more,
and who will miss me way up high
where ghosts and phantoms roam
if not the sky, the spirit sky,
and home of lovers’ sighs.  

The words are written, so they say
only love can chase a dream away
and rock the cradle, oh, just so  
to still a restless need!

Helen

I'm always touched by your poetry.  This one even more so, perhaps because of the rhythm...and the song I felt while reading it...spiritually blessed music you write.

This one, Helen, carried a song to me, despite the sadness I feel in its write.   ....jo
