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
