my heart flies across the oceans to lands of foreign suns my thoughts fly through endless horizons I often hear the strains of melodies, wild and strange walk through fields of wild orchids and gaze at the snow capped peaks of an ancient mountain range my soul flees to feel timeless seasons see those I have never seen palm fringed shores and playful dolphins through a single moonlit beam my ears still to listen to the sound of running deer against an autumn stream my skin tingled by the grains of silver sands on a warm and foreign beach my lips they taste sweet strawberries growing wild by the sunny hills I close my eyes and let the jasmine flowers fill up my nostrils relaxed I lie on purple grass in a land of genuine smiles a rainbow land a fulfilled land a land where freedom reigns though you may lock my body in a cold and mouldy room though you may tie me down by my very own flesh and bone my heart will always rove across the wilder climes for you cannot lock my soul as long as I am alive
