Reverie

In reverie I wander far from here,
To lands where troubles disappear,
Where cares and woes are left behind,
And joy and peace are all that find.

The world around me fades away,
And in my mind I run and play,
Through fields of flowers and rolling hills,
Where all my troubles vanish still.

I bask in sunshine, feel the breeze,
And breathe in air that's fresh and easy,
In this place where I am free,
To be myself, to just be me.

But all too soon the spell is broken,
And I am pulled back to the world, unspoken,
But even as I go my way,
The memory of that sweet reverie, it stays.
