The Place I Want

Gravel roads that wind around

This new place I have found

The smell of these sweet pines

It wraps around like vicious vines

I'm tangled here all alone

But I'm enjoying the unknown

-

This place, I must say,

Is the place I want to stay

-

Two ponds of water crystals

They echo inside the ripples

And your footsteps with light tone

It keeps rhythm like a metronome

Sweet sounds of nature fill your ears

Like love songs produce your gentle tears

-

This place, I must say,

Is the place I want to stay

-

Watching living trees reach to heaven

And if all could speak, they'd say "Amen"

Watch as the moss hanging from their branches

And let them preform their gentle dances

This place - it's gentle and serene

It's placed a memory so pristine

-

This place, I must say,

Is the place I want to stay
