A Place I Used to Go

This place in my vision seems surreal, it is bright
Everything's in place and damn does it feel right
The wind creaks the trees, and blows around the leaves
A place I used to go, where no one ever grieves
Running water's heard, birds chirp all above
I think this place is perfect, I think that I'm in love
This is where I'll live, to live in peace again
Something keeps pain out, while letting this joy in

I hate having to leave, I want to stay forever
This place is good to me, I could never hurt it ever
The way the sun breaks, through the darkest cloud
And fades away the thunder, no matter how strong and loud
Makes me realize, there's something more to life
Then troubles in this world, and fearing for your strife
I must leave now, but I swear I will return
I've so much more to study, I've so much more to learn

It's been several years, but I finally made it back
What used to be so bright is burned and faded black
No life is in sight, the water has run dry
Just old and messy garbage is filling up the sky
The Sun is blocked out, by this smog and this waste
Cold wind makes me freeze, I lost my sense of taste
What all happened here? I really couldn't know
My mind's all that's left, of the place I used to go

SOrry it has taken so long to comment on this one Seiz. I really like it alot.. Kind of reminds me of the places I used to go when I was a kid. minus the smog and plus human greeds expansion. It's sad that a place that was once so beautiful will not be left for the next generations...

theres a tree up on a hill where i used to go,
where i used to jump and play and cry out my sorrows,
where the wind was my friend and the rain gave me a hug,
i always used to smile, knowing i was loved.
And on top of that hill, there sat a willow,
its long arms reaching out to embrace,
my secrects i used to tell it,
never minding my intelligence, language or race,
i hate to say it's been awhile
but i visit it everday inside my mind,
sadly its only about a mile away,
things just tie me down, theres no time,
but one day i promise myself to go there one more time,
hopeing its not to late,
but memories remain, so i vist that place again and again,
going, in my mind, to that beautiful place.

Yellowed suns explode light
and harvest feed for another day.
I am air and soul,
drifting in my peace
with molds to break the silence.
Spread about, my wings block
those suns amidst their anguish.
I retreat there, I retreat.
And suddenly there looms my castle,
in solace and sorrow it swells up over the
grassy hill.
I retreat there, I retreat,
to live and love and lose.

Within my mind I close my eyes
to a magical place I go
A place I visited long ago
when I was just a child

The trees they speak as they shake their leaves
the creek water trickles as it passes over stones
Relaxing I breath in the moist autumn leaves
And the cooling fall breezes bite gently at my cheeks

As the skies darken the frogs sing
and the crickets join in harmony
Stars twinkling in the deep blue background
Watching the shadows lengthen

Sitting in the low branch of a tree
legs swinging free beneath me
I take a deep breath in relaxation
At peace with the world

Within my mind I linger here
For just a few moments more
I know that reality waits for me
But for now I am free within me
