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. ---------------------------------------------- Contest: Any Poem#24 ~ April 2014 Sponsor: Poet Destroyer A Placed: 2nd -----------------------------------------------

When I first read the title of this gem of yours, I instantly thought of the song 'I'll Take You There' by the Staples Singers and actually, the subject matter of the song is not much different than this poem...Brilliantly done Paul and a well-earned 1st place finish.......http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9rh3JTvvlk

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
