The Secret Place

Let us rule in places fair
Come along, the road is wide.
Our hearts are brave, our cloaks are made,
Our horses saddled; wave goodbye.

Let me take you far away
I’ll bear you to the stars.
We’ll travel by a road of rainbows
Paved by morning dawn.

Roses then will be our guides,
Clouds our beds for sleep,
Trees and sky our closest friends,
If you just follow me.

A world of stories lies beyond
Songs rise on the wind.
I’d much rather fly then walk-
Will you fly too, my friend?

Moon and Sun will greet us there
Gloaming and eventide, too.
The only thing that’s missing now
Is the laughter belonging to you.

Waves crested with sea spray will bow by our feet
The snow will sweep in with our crowns,
The willows, nevermore to weep,
Will grow for us a town.

Kingdoms come, but pass away-
Not so, I say, with ours!
For war does not exist there,
Though adventure is never far.

So let us rule in places fair
Come along- the road is wide!
Our hearts are brave, our cloaks are made,
Our horses saddled- Wave goodbye!

Some poems match my thought so much that I feel like I could have written them. This is one of those poems. Good job! :)

Thanks everyone!

This almost reminds me of the song "Walking in the Air" (best version by Celtic Women). Good job.

"There are no great men of God. There are only pitiful, sorry men whose God is great beyond measure." - Paul Washer [originally Jonathan Edwards]

My cousin told me about Celtic Woman but I've never actually gotten to listen to them.

Thanks!

I have one of their cd's, not the one with Walking In the Air though, but I have heard the song before and its pretty decent! I have it in my list of favorite videos on youtube =D

Do you have a youtube? I don't, but my friend Leah does. She's punkroxoutxxx... or something liek that. *shrug*

No, I looked it up... It's xxpunksrockoutxx... I think I'm in one of the videos... but I don't say much. :)

I have a blogger a youtube a myspace and a facebook!
hahahaa
I don't use my blogger though or my facebook (all my friends are on mysapce), I have very big plans for my youtube though =]

I do use my blogger, but it's private so not very many people are on it. I'd like a facebook but I won't be 13 till June, plus my mom said no.
