Xanadu
Milk and honey flow?
Do gems and jewels glow?
Are lions tender and mild?
Is a tiger like a child?
Is this the ninth cloud?
Or a joy shroud?
Hyperopia?
Utopia?
What an aspiration in me!
This heavenly place to see!
Desperately I walked far... far
As far as the highest sky par
As a deer finding mirages
Jungle-desert-hill collages
I could not, lo, find such a place
After many a long forlorn race
In humanness
Filled with faithfulness
Compassion
In heavenly fashion
And in love
As descending from above
I could find Xanadu
The divine avenue...
