Upon a Daydream
Away I drift…
From right here and right now
Free of bonds…
Anchored to worldly pains
Here lays exposed…
My strength, my heart, my essence
Upon the precipice…
Riding away on the only true freedom
Resting in sunlight…
On green New England seashores
Endless Waves washing…
Away the aches and troubled sorrow
Laying here I desire…
No stability, no purpose, no weight
Less the power of heart…
To release momentary responsibility
In this place I have loved…
And felt it’s purity of redemption
I have been the scholar…
And the open learned pupil
It’s here I give of myself…
Knowing I will gain from the effort
Here I gain true wealth…
Beyond the treasures of mans avarice
For a moment I transpire…
Outside the boundaries of body
A wearied welcome traveler…
Entering an undiscovered country
Allowed by the azure skies…
To drift within this calm and peaceful realm
Until the call of the Thrush…
Brings my minds eye back to focus
