Shield Me From This; and That

Wrap me up in a crystal ball,
and toss away the key.
Put me on a journey,
away from land and sea.

Wrap me up all cozy and warm,
all flying through the stars.
Let me visualize all that's there,
to record in memory's hold: Afar's.

Shield me from all the woes,
Never to feel again.
Tired of hurting here;
Wanting anew to begin.

Want to travel, to travel,
on to-"Afar".
Want to keep on traveling...
To record each and every star.
