The Land Within
close my eyes and breath in deep
the sent of cobblestones and grasses
opening again to find somewhere new
and the scene will change and the memory forgotten

deeply drinking wine out of carnation blossoms
we'll fly across that city of rooftops
eating pancakes with the illustrated Jamaican women
and the voices will fade into another breaking sunrise

sitting against tree on grassy hill
running through clear warm water and sand
blinking at the light of still another dawn
and the scene will change and the memory forgotten

raspberry women manifesting beauty
goodbyes to a friend who's left my reality
where everything's true and nothing's real
and the voices fade into another breaking sunrise

such a sight, and yet no feeling
swirling shapes and wonderful meanings
I will die a thousand deaths and be reborn
and the scene will change and the memory forgotten
