There's a Place

There's a place
a place I so long to go
distanced from the distractions
of the day
tilted and tucked away 
far from the promised road
of yesterday's dream

Where the yellow fragrant flowers 
only speak of love
each lucent petal pulling
at a piece of my heart
and the gentle breezes 
holding me ever close

There's a place
a place I so long to be
where green spacious mountains
sing out towards the heavens
where abundant butterflies float
oh so gallantly 
along crystal clear rivers 
and with my thoughts 
run fast and free

Oh leave that primrose path
and with the wind come along
embrace unknown possibilities
push past predictability 
and live life with a visibility
at a pace that is meant to last

This reminds me of that song "A Place for Us" or maybe it was a time for us? I think it was in the movie west side Story. WE all need this place, Tim. Nicely portrayed.

Your dreaming of my dream and all the reasons that Henry Thoreau is one of my heroes. I loved frolicking thru Eden via your lovely poem ... CayCay
