Let us stroll

Let us stroll you and I:
On the banks of clear rivers
the streams of the mountains’ cry
the result of the sky’s shivers.

Let us stroll you and I:
On the slopes of high peaks
across terrain soft and dry
Beneath nests of many beaks.

Let us stroll you and I:
On beaches vast
where water and sand, for supremacy vie
where the past lie in many a mast.

Let us stroll you and I:
To the heavens and stars
to where the eagles sigh
to where there are no wars.

Let us stroll you and I:
To destinations many – in vain, try
to where no eyes pry
to where all vanity and vengeance: die...

Let us stroll you and I:
To where there is no lie
to a place no wealth can buy
to where there is no need for want or why.

Let us stroll you and I...
