I belong somewhere beautiful
among the beautiful people
where language is poetry
where roses sing in praise
where crystal clear rivers flow
where sun does not burn
where moon is always full
and where you and I
sleep in each other's arms
all night long under the full moon
where morning breeze brings joy
where there is no work at hand
where love is the only currency
where eyes sprinkle with happiness
where there is no fear
where there are no laws of nature
neither human laws to adhere
where it's neither so cold or hot
where things do not rot
where hearts speak and tongues listen
where all lovers live in communion
that place never existed
that place might never exist
but when I close my eyes, I see it
and I am filled with joy.
