TAKE ME AWAY FROM, TAKE ME TO:

Take me away from dark places in the mind

There where analysis dwells,

To where Bridget whispers her wisdom through

Her deep & magical wells.

Take me away from those loveless corners

Of my lost childhood years,

To deep within Green-sleeves forests

So that I may play with deer.

Take me away from those twisted minds

Of the cruel men who reign,

To swaying fields of golden waving wheat

Kissed by poppies upon the plains.

Take me away from those harsh horrid hands

Those that tightens hangman´s rope,

To the land where bearded fiddlers play

Filling my soul with tuneful hope.

Take me away from those sad sodden paths

Of the daily mired grind,

To where the midnight raven flies

And where the poet caresses the mind.

Take me far away from that hollow look

Within the eye of the starving child,

Up to the sky beyond the clouds

To where the mighty eagle glides.

Take me away from the whimpering pup

From the cursing words that sting,

To the shingle of cold winter beaches

Where the icy little pebbles sing.

Take me away from these arid lands

Where seeds forget to grow,

To woods where pretty maidens trip

And fresh streams giggle & flow.

Take me away from this cruel world

Where all is bad & goes astray,

To the cold spume of Northern shores

Where falcons weave their wending ways

And to you I kneel & softly pray.
