Spain
Cleanse my soul with your clear blue waters
Fill my eyes with the fiery red passion of the night
Rock me gently in your arms of sunlight
And restore my distant eyes with your blues and your golds
Surround me with the fragrant beauty of the olive grove
And dapple my white northern skin with your light
Blow away the clinging cobwebs of neglect
And burn my eyes out with your blazing light
Tell me stories of your heroes and your warriors
Lead me down your long forgotten paths
Bless your land, your sky, your people,
Bless your ever-present light, your plight.
Fold me gently within the tender arms of your swaying branches
And dance and strum on the strings of my soul
Blow away forever my old and broken ego
And my etched and sunken soul
Say farewell to the lands and the summers
Say goodbye to the fields and the trees
I’ll say so long to the distant high mountains
And hope we meet someday in a dream
