The Promised Land

The Promised Land

Where would you like to be, in sunshine and mystery,
I'd like my mojo back sitting on the beach by the sea,
I was brown then as the photographer went by me,
he snapped a shot for time immemorial, permanently.

Now in that photo everything stopped, twenty five forever,
few of us can aspire to being in the land of never-never,
I was, with Peter Pan, stars and sprinkled magic dust,
Wendy, the dog, karma and something I could trust.

The divide between romanticism and classical you see,
you can fix my motor-bike, I'm chilling out as Zen taught me,
of course, we can't all have this idyllic unreal lifestyle,
I did, it could never be taken away, stay with me awhile.

Stay with me, to remove the drabness going so slow,
if you do, I'll welcome you and we can all be in the photo.

I absolutely love this!! The photograph immemorial permanently....an excellent verse. I love the you have captured all this with a photo and then the reference to something magical and ending with the photo. To be out of this world. A different perspective. Just brilliant! Sssoo pinned!!! Px ?
