Paul Callus Poet Lyric

Let Me Take You There

Silence is calling
Moonlight has fallen
As the breeze goes by unheard.
Bare-foot and smiling
Eagerly climbing
The green slopes of virgin youth
Leading to promised realms….

     Let me take you there
     So you’ll breathe the air of make-belief, 
     Riding on enchanted dreams
     Heading far away from reality.

     Let me take you there
     To the land of hopes and fantasy,
     Passing through the mist of time
     Treading on the verge of eternity.

Long dress unfolding
Bright eyes beholding
The low grass that softly moves.
Bare-foot and smiling
Eagerly climbing
The green slopes of virgin youth
Leading to promised realms….

     Let me take you there
     So you’ll breathe the air of make-belief, 
     Riding on enchanted dreams
     Heading far away from reality.

     Let me take you there
     To the land of hopes and fantasy,
     Passing through the mist of time
     Treading on the verge of eternity.

Sam Toil April 27, 2014 at 8:38 AM I've read your lovely song several times and each time loved it. I am drawn to your recurring metaphor, "The green slopes of virgin youth". And to your last two stanzas, which so capture the feeling of love and especially first love. We never forget them. And they do carry us to realms "far away from reality". In the midst of love, the world and its problems go away and we are left with pure bliss, which you express so well in your last two stanzas. Excellent work as always...Sam Paul Callus April 27, 2014 at 1:15 PM Thank you Sam; I so appreciate your detailed and positive comments. It's what I call real feedback! cu // paul
