Charles David Sharp Poet Lyric

Atlantis Via Kansas

I journey to Atlantis
This road I'm on goes on and on
Across the Plains of Kansas
Love is strong, let the dreams roll on
     
From the land of my father
From the land of my birth
To the girl of the blue crystal waters 
Between Heaven and Earth

She loves purple and sage
Dig her cinnamon smile and her butterfly ways
A sea of sunflowers, counting down the hours
To my Karma Girl

She's got bluebirds in her yard
Wears a locket cross her heart
Picture of me and my guitar
Her blowing the French harp
My Karma Girl
To Atlantis via Kansas, to my Cassandra
My Karma Girl
    
I journey to Atlantis
Through the valleys, over mountains
Across the Plains of Kansas
To the heartland, City of Fountains

She wore purple and sage
A flowered garland that she made
I just married her today, forever gonna stay 
With My Karma Girl
In Atlantis via Kansas with my Cassandra
With my Karma Girl
Love is strong, let the dreams roll on
Love is strong, let the dreams roll on

Starling Hunter December 26, 2017 at 4:23 AM I like this. A trip to Atlantis, the lost continent, alleged by some to have sunk due to bad karma of its inhabitants. Contrasted with the flat, dry Plains. So many other beautiful pairs of opposites and complements--sea of sunflowers, mountains and valleys, heaven and earth. Seems like you could set it to song. Did you?
