Eldorado

Eldorado

The Flower Children go out to play, 
In the emerald cove or forgotten bay—
Where ancient spires from granite rise,
Where bats keep watch with diamond eyes,
Where stalactites fall like glittering spears
Into opal waters hushed a thousand years.
A serpent guards the palace, their abode,
Whose only prince is but a toad—
The mother tree lifts her arms to pray,
Raining blossoms every time they sway.
And the dawn resting on bird wings, 
Is rocked to sleep as the wind sings
It's lullaby. 

¡Adiós!  Voy en libertad,
Puede ser que mi alma vivirá en paz,
En un lugar antes de tiempo,
Será el paraíso de mi sueño,
Sin historia, ni culpa mĂ­o
Ni memoria de que ha sucedido. 
El jardín de Edén, todavía escondido?
El hogar de Dios lejos en las estrellas del cielo?
No me digas que soy bobo
Porque busco mi corazón—
Y sé que está lejos de este mundo
En las selvas de mi Eldorado 
Aunque solo existe en mi mente.

The Glitch

There’s a glitch in the circuit
A short circuit in the wire.
One too many blows to the mind...
