The Lament of the Bard

Away

I want to stow away, to a place where love can bloom freely and open,
To a shoreline where the sunset would last forever between my smile unspoken,
Its orange beams forever would be the light to my sandy ballroom floor,
As I dance to the tune of waves, painting darkened tones among the shore.

I want to wisp away, as I imprint my fated footprints onto this beach,
Watch as the sand gets in between my toes, and giggle to a higher pitch,
Sitting by a sturdy log or driftwood along the shore, underneath a majestic colored sky,
The view of eternal love above me, magic bending the themes of the time disguised.

I want to wander away, to the silent surf, as I swim along its lulling currents,
Drifting, not too far from the crystal shoreline as I laugh at things that aren't,
Aren't on my once busy mind filled with the stress of every instance,
What I have here in this moment, they are acquired not by fleeting chance.

I want to fly away, to a reef beyond what my weary vision can only focus on,
Where colors paling a rainbow are found among it, where new are born,
To find a new adventure among the seas and tides that shape and give it body,
Finding peace within its slight stirrings, it will not bother me, no, it is not shoddy.

I want to get away, to a marvel of His design, that only I could wonder at,
Being at tune with the balance of His every single kind and loving acts,
Taking in hungrily, with every breath a paradise no man had ever sought or seen,
Lasting in a shore built on harmony, sand, peace, and palm trees, ever green.

I want to stay away, be part of, and forever take a longing residence,
In a home beside the currents, lulled by waves, among all concurrence,
Sipping a fortune of a drink, sitting beach-side behind smoky shades,
Keeping a sigh among my lips as I smile, wishing to be away, from routine days.
