far away, close

I want to find this place:
Neither far away nor close.
This place not on a map
Or highway or country road.
I don’t know how to get there,
But I’ll know it when we do

No signs will mark the entrance
But we’ll know just what to do
No signs will bid us welcome
Or list population, but we’ll know:
Me and you.

Me and you –
This place where we can finally
Breathe out, close our eyes and
Sleep. Uninterrupted calm
Surrounded by a cool lack of responsibility.


We won’t dream unless we want to
And we’ll dream of things ridiculous –Of purple unicorns and 800 lb pancakes
And the sky will be neon blue and the
Sea electric pink
And we’ll ride the foamy waves into the lime green sun.

Our mind is left to ponder the fantastic
Because our heart’s dreams will be
All around us – when we reach for them,
The will be there – solid and heavy.
I don’t know how to get there, but I’ll know it when we do.
