Take Me There

There are no asylums for the restless souls
Lost in a world not of their own.
Half a universe away
There could be a town
Where all our dreams blossom
Like some rare wildflowers spreading
In between all the shrubs and space invading trees.
There, where each spot of light is not fought for
But given by some guiding hand,
Take me there.
Where a new sun births a new love,
Not of this earth,
But of something more.
