Where Is My Moon River

Where is my Moon river
                          To carry me away  
Where nothing can bemoan me
                  And sun forever shines

Gliding every cradled wave
                         Every mellow tune
And leaving hate behind me
                     For lands of only love

Where is my Moon River
                       My floating paradise
Where pain does not exist
         And minds are safe to wander

Dreaming is my guide now
                 I know it can come true
That one day we’ll be free
                   As one, we’ll sail away

This is such a wonderful poem dear Mike filled with depth of emotion. So beautifully and poetically composed, ‘ Gliding every cradled wave’ ‘ As one, we’ll sail away’. I hope you find your moon river and sail upon calm waters. Blessings to you x

So sad to aspire for such bliss. We will not find it on this earth. Only above such bliss exists.
