The Land Beyond
there is a land beyond your eyes
but you must stare at the sun
the whitish glare but a disguise
it is one that hides another one
there is a land beyond your ears
you must be a dog to even hear
the mystic cloud ever nears
never mind it, never fear
there is a land beyond the pale
that can be seen, but not understood
its milk and honey have gone stale
as screaming babes yowl for their food
