    Spirited Away

    2020

    One fine day, I’ll let myself be
    Spirited away, to a world yet unseen
    In the grey, the mist of a dream
    Where sprites play and nature nymphs stream
    Amidst the spray of waterfalls and green
    Forests, a ray of sunshine, a beam
    Of light, a stray path in between.

    One day soon, I’ll let myself go
    To the moon, to the stars that glow
    Like the bloom of ideas, the flow
    Of a tune of memories that grow
    And then swoon, like the winds blow
    Across the dune and the swirling snow
    Paints a plume on skies I used to know

    One dark night, I’ll let myself fly
    Out of sight, out of mind, with a sigh
    I’ll take flight, let loose every tie
    Every plight that weighs and asks why
    Every fight won or lost, on a high
    Of pure light, I’ll laugh and I’ll cry
    With delight, I’ll be spirited away by and by
