Here, Now, Forever

Take me away..
A million miles away from here.
Take me away..
Find a place for you and me.

Beyond this valley in the shadow of death.
Beyond these fleeting hills.
Beyond this world of death and dreams,
and desperate love
so unfulfilled.

Beyond it all, what is there left?
Beyond the stars and the darkness fear,
How far can I go?
because I want to run,
a million miles away from here.

Can I run forever?
Beyond islands and beaches,
and groves of the nether?
How far can I travel?
Beyond cities and streets?
How far can I go, and who will I meet?

Beyond heaven and further,
how far can we go?
What questions remain
about what I dont know?

Why look to the future,
Why forget the past?
Why cling to a life that we know just wont last?
Why fear to die?
Why wonder why?
This beautiful, wonderous, blue wonder sky?

When so much is out there,
Untold and unseen.
I want to live it

for eternity.

CONFUCIOUS SAY: YOU STAND ON TOILET, YOU HIGH ON POT!

Yes!

It starts out heavy, hard, sore...but it ends
on Hope...

I discovered a new little "ditty" today...

Hope on a Rope....

This fits that!

A million miles from here may be within a heart beath and and intake of breath - so much to be discovered within an arms reach - reach out and grab the unknown - 'tis just a second away -

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Beautiful. I could hear a melody with this one...I could just *sing* it. Great work.
Wonderful signature, but the way.
