Take Me

Take me out of here

To where I can let my mind go blank

Stare at the ocean

And listen to the roar of its waves

As they venture to the shore

With reckless abandon

Take me to where

I can't think of anything

But the wind caressing my face

While looking down to a carpet of greens

And up at a canopy of deep blue

Take me out of my thoughts

And place me somewhere

My ideas can't find me

Where the only thing that matters

Is what's real at the moment

Take me far away into a land

Where my feelings about the future

Can't get my number

And what was

Can't cloud what is

Take me, please, to that Secret Place

Where love is not measured against flawed standards

Where joy does not depend on circumstances

And peace, ah, peace

Is the sweet presence I sleep with

And wake up to as the sun rises
