A life that sings in harmony
Which takes a hold and sets you free
Has sirens that all call to me
But they are only dreams of glee

A life that sings in harmony
Has breezes calm and joy to see
It’s where my mind might often be
It’s where the pain of day is free

A life that sings in harmony
Has open doors without a key
Paths of gold, the magic tree
It is the place I’d like to be

A life that sings in harmony
Is only in the mind you see
But I can dream and then can be
Within the place that comforts me

Rick,
  I just watched "Don Quixote, Man de la Mancha" on T.V. this morning.  Your last verse sums it up perfectly.  Again, a pleasure to read your poetry.

I like the rhythm here, musical - and it is truth you play out in your words song - it is good to have a place we can go and dream in harmony-
