Shangri-la I stretch my arms towards Shangri-la It comes into my mind from far It is a spring of wondrous things Built on all that desire brings Oh happiness I fly to thee You fill my souls periphery. To file in time my dreamers wile And dissipate the true of mile Impetuous had singed my wings Where youth was blind to subtle things And impulse made me flit around Like a bee lusting, nectar bound. But time has brought each coming year Much closer to a fruitful near And though I stare in dreamer’s night My mind can see it’s blinding light. I’m closer now to what we are And the secrets of near and far |

I like this, but I can't say why. It seems quite mystical, so nice. I enjoyed reading it!  |

But time has brought each coming year Much closer to a fruitful near And though I stare in dreamer’s night My mind can see it’s blinding light. I’m closer now to what we are And the secrets of near and far ================================== Your mind sees MUCH ... and I for one am better for your visions and knowlege shared. I thank you for that me sweet Stinky. And I just have to smile at the wisdom and poetic grace of that closing couplet. My day just wouldnt start off right with out a bowl of your wise rice to go with me tea   me You're the hidden cost and the thing that's lost in everything I do. |

You weave a spell of magic with these words that takes your reader to their own Shangri-la. I love it. It is mystical and touches the spirit. Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

This is so odd, just today I was reading a book that spoke of the mythical shangri-la It's not every day you hear about it twice! I like very much what you did with this poem. Sandra |

A big thank you to all the lovely people that read and commented on this poem. It seems the older I get the slower I get and I find it hard to keep up. Once again my thanks and I'll try to keep up. |

It seems to me that you fit that old saying, "the older one gets, the wiser one gets." It doesn't rally fit everyone I've known, but seems to be a perfect fit for you, Sy. |
