Take Me Back

the hills are calling me
the piper’s trill stretches the sea
the birds are there, singing for me
“hie again…, come home…, Karilea”

and it is to a time remote I flow
to a distance of forever so long ago
where my love still awaits, ‘tis so
calling soft my name in twilight’s glow

this plea, from some origin in me deep
allows me daydream, but to gather no sleep
lifts me high to fly among moon’s beam
to search the sound of my lover’s dream

and in this wealth of my mind’s eye
descry emerald meadows under turquoise sky
hear the call of the grassland’s birds
long ago this land of fantasy is heard

it wants to come, and take me back
to that time when our love was fresh
and you stood tall in the twilight’s gleam
the sight of which caught my breath

this strain, this pull, this tug at my heart
this love, your love, did not depart
‘tho centuries now separate the you from me
I still hear, soft, your call, “Karilea…”

come my love, come cross the seas
come and take me back with thee…

Karilea
If I whisper, will you listen?...
I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound.

Ditto Marge's comment. A wonderful write Karilea. Oh, how I loved these lines:
"this plea, from some origin in me deep
allows me daydream, but to gather no sleep
lifts me high to fly among moon’s beam
to search the sound of my lover’s dream"
