the world has many places of light where faces laugh in the sun s glow take me on board your shimmering ship built of eternal tithe and icicle dreams fly to that hidden city nestling in yesterday across the smokey mountain and along the flowing river the land lies as a maiden left in repose tread softly walk on silent notes she will ask him nothing and tell you all and you without thinking will lose your soul your mind will ache to be carried off in her silver light pain will fill your being as you devour the beauty that evades your control the sea will cover you wave upon rolling wave destroying the bounties of the love that you wanted to share and when you wake tomorrow she ll be gone and a new day as innocent as the next will appear on your horizon
