THE FIELDS THAT WE KNOW

A bit out of earshot and just out of sight
Over the boarder by just a stones throw
There's a brilliant hued landscape, a crystal clear light
A place so unlike the fields that we know

Dragons and unicorns there you will find
Amaranth and Asphodel blossom and grow
Elves with a beauty beyond humankind
And sometimes they visit the fields that we know

Even time there is different and flows like a dream
No past, just today, no tomorrow
Timeless are its' people, eternal they seem
Nothing like those of the fields that we know

A patchwork of nightmares, a collage of dreams
So often you can't tell a friend from a foe
And not all you find there is just what it seems
It's far more unsafe than the fields that we know

But sometimes you see just a glimpse of this place
A subtle but definite shift in a shadow
A movement you catch as your head turns in haste
Of something not from the fields that we know

It's beyond the sunset and before the dawn
This side of a daydream, over the rainbow
It's not safe, it's not cosy, it's far from the norm
And it's oh so unlike the fields that we know
