somewhere there is a world where pure love works.
where cherry vanilla ice cream tastes like it did
when you were a kid. on our yellow diamond days
where afternoons murmur come to the green glade
and you don't get in trouble for leaving school early
because everyone goes then
and anyway, in such a world you already did
all your homework in study hall.
somewhere there is a world where as Walt Disney
told us wishes do come true and the wishes are only
for pure love, for love as you knew it when you loved the earth,
the skies in their crayoned dimensions
the lamb like clouds.
