write
my darling,
close your eyes and see
the many varied places
you could be alone with me.
Upon a planet far away
or deep beneath the sea,
we'd laugh and play
and love each other.
We alone with We.
Close your eyes and dream,
my darling,
close your eyes and dream,
let your imagination flow
in life's ungentle stream.
The soldiers and the butterflies
are standing toe to wing,
the fairies and the demons
wait for you to have them sing.
Close your eyes and fly,
my darling,
close your eyes and fly.
The heroes and the heroines
are stiffly standing by.
They wait on the adventures
that are deep inside your mind.
Turn the key that sets them free
and cut the ropes that bind.
Close your eyes and sail,
my darling,
close your eyes and sail,
and feel the ocean spray your hand
that grips the galleon rail.
The pirates and the sailors
love the winds that froth the wave,
with stars to guide you safely home,
with fearless crew so brave.
Open up your eyes,
my darling,
open them and look.
And hunt the treasures of your heart.
They're never very far apart.
The written word's a sacred art
in pages of a book.
