Take Me Away

Great white bird high in the sky Take me away, take me away Off to some exotic land Take me away, take me away Fly me off to wonderland Take me away, take me away Let me unwind on soft golden sand Take me away, take me away Let me forget my cares for a day Take me away, take me away In dreamland I just want to stay Take me away, take me away Jan Allison 27th October 2014

Yes it exceeded all expectations - i was pretty scared as I could see lightning in the clouds about 10 minute before we landed - I was a bit freaked out so closed the blinds and the stewardess made me open them - thankfully we landed with no problem:-) Can't wait to meet you :-) :-) hugs Jan xxx

Hi Jan. I think your great white bird is the muse that can take you away to wherever your mind and heart wishes to go. This same muse has taken us away many times with your wonderful poetry. Thanks for sharing my friend..... Robert.

It's actually an airplane that came and took me off our little Island and to Malta where i am sitting now on the balcony listening to the soothing sounds of the sea - sheer bliss! Hugs Jan xxx

ILove this poem Jan, I live in a small town that if you look at the night sky you see the planes fly by all the time going straight to the airport or away. My thoughts are also the same, take me away.....:) hugs and love Eve

The last time I wrote a poem with that same repeating line...they took me away for over a year...they kept giving me little blue and pink pills...a beautiful white jacket although the sleeves were too long...a beautiful room wall to wall carpets in fact the walls were padded, nothing but first class for me.
