Lost Horizon

The stars led me into the far away world of hope Where Shangri-La and Nirvana hide out, Not giving any feelings that would lead me to them I am led by the North Star, assuring myself all is well Sounds in the brush keep me alert, but I feel protected The horizon may be lost, but it is obtainable. I am optimistic The Valley of the Blue Moon this must be The cosmos are brilliantly glowing now Guiding me toward the land for the forgotten and discouraged I feel hopeful that I will reach the Lost Horizon soon She is just a bit out of my reach; I can feel her essence. She will nurture me and make me whole again, revitalize me. I walk steadily onward, with conviction that this pilgrimage is exactly what I need to get over the horrible deaths in my family I look toward the North Star, and she winks at me.

The Lost Horizon? -- Isn't that where people live to 230 or something? But then their faces shrivel up like prunes... I'm just remembering the movie I saw as an adolescent or early teen... Nirvana is just a poem away! Peace and Paradise, Gershon

This was supposed to be Lost Horizon. Thanks for noticing. I changed the title. It was mistyped.
