Look out at the far lands
are things different there
are the spaces inbetween the words different
is the air sweeter to the nose
or do the people talk in wonderful prose

there would i not be lonely
there perhaps someone to share my woes
on that island across the waters
over there far and far away
where at night my dream goes

touch my soul deeply o distant Abode
from here with these denizens of this hole
where the loves have died and died
and my hopes raised on lies and lies
dance over this puddle of a sea to be with thee

The very deep did rot: O Christ!
That ever this should be!
Yea, slimy things did crawl with legs
Upon the slimy sea.

The grass is always greener ...
the sea is always bluer ...

Not as somber as some you have penned. I hope you are enjoying mor happiness.
