Over Every Wall That Blocks Me

And over every wall that blocks me,

Over 
Every distant hill that I can see,

I imagine 
A magical land,

A land,
Where somehow things are different,

Winged creatures 
dance among the trees,

Sunlight, 
Falls like torch beams,

White Clouds, 
Rise, 

Like Mountains in the sky, 

Stars hang like diamonds,

Rivers flow like electric blue,

A place 
across the hilltops,

The other side of walls,

A place that’s waiting, 

Waiting 
to be found.
