No Passport Required

Utopia.

Drifting o’er the ocean
Arcadian images appear
A candle on the altar
Heaven without fear.

Empathy and understanding
Shangri-La’s of pure delight
Dark shadows dip and disappear
Blue days turn to white light.

A flame softly flickering
A candelabra colonnade
Blowing discarded dreams
Ending pain man-made.

Flying to god’s country
O’er meadows of deep green
Into Gardens of Eden
On the wings of a dream.

Armed with imagination
A new world set apart
No passport required
For the new idyllic start.

Birdsong in the morning
A world of resonation
Next to Elysium gardens
In a new Utopian nation.
