There’s a place I know
Where no train has stitched its tracks,
Where no hand has traced a map,
And nobody’s worried,
It’s beautiful…
Mountains of unearthly color
There wait to be discovered
On this continent of wonder
And nobody ever gets to go.
Gold dust
Is carried on the easy breeze,
And settles in the leaves
Of the Amberine trees
That encircle ancient gardens,
So long left alone.
And there is no witness,
No need for forgiveness,
As nobody yet has trespassed
Against these shores.
And nobody ever gets to go.
Here, pillars of iridescent rock
Keep watch
Over nothing at all.
No matter how masterful,
No living artist
Could duplicate nature’s
Enchanted carving.
This miracle of improbable design
Is as rare as it is fine…
And nobody ever gets to go.
There’s a place that nobody knows,
Where ruby wings fold
In the muscodine groves,
And no love is made,
As none stands to be sold…
But paradise spreads on,
Infinitely.
The orchestra of nature’s host
Is the symphony
Of divinity.
And- you know…
When I wrote this, my right hand didn’t know what my left was doing.
This was just a stream of consciousness, that I allowed to carelessly flow
Not sure what I was thinking.
Nobody needs to know.
Nobody ever gets to go.
