Somewhere, beyond the veils of this earth, there must lie a place,
Uncorrupted by sorrow, loss, or sadness,
Untainted by war, greed or corruption,
Where hate is a forgotten myth of a bygone place, and love and joy rules supreme.
Somewhere, beyond the havens and across the sea, there is a far, fair green country under a swift sunrise.
Where life is abundant, beauty never withers and light never fades.
Sleep is peaceful and dreamless, and waking life is as bright and wonderful as a child's best daydream.
I spend my life seeking the Havens, but a voice says, "You are not ready. Yet."
So I abide here, seeking the beauty and joy in everyday life, even if that is a mere reflection of that land beyond the Western Sea.
And still strive, not always successfully, to learn and grow and be a good person, so that one day, I will be ready to take that journey,
To the Havens, and across the sea to that fair green country under the eternal swift sunrise.
