Highland
Every night in my thoughts i stray
High on a place
Far far away from any trace
And down i look from this place
To see me sleeping at the base
Far i travel in this way
Soon i see no earth no moon
Just a silvery string with me to say
'Come home' while the night is still not day
Far i travel in this way
And then i reach a luminous way
Chrysanthemums so big to blow me away
Strewn all over to welcome me anyway
Then i reach a garden so lush
Red, green, yellow,orange
And other shades never
Seen through the brush
Water that glows with purple and blue
Trees with flowers no leaves to see
Birds so pretty why would ever
Anyone want to leave
To come was neither a choice
Nor was it my choice to leave
But just to wait another day
When day turns night to let me stray
