I hear the music o Aricain the patterns o the wall,
See here as a orest,
with the wind rushing though the house,
The Place is an eagle,
standing proud and powerul,
Its an amethyst,
beautiul as the blue sky
Heres a london eye,so grand but small and ecstatic.
And but not least a salad,
so crunchy but with unique taste.
This is a place that should be treasured orever.

I glide through the door o dreams and I sink into the lush grass.All around are trees tall, towering and emerald green,I touch one and it eels like my grandmas sot skin,
I turn and she is there, standing in the waterall,I run, run like nothing could stop me and she says love is a precious thingalways treasure it.
As she ades, I all through the grass and nd mysel back outside the door.Love is a precious thing,always treasure it.
I wait like an owl watching its prey until a perect round salty sapphire rollsdown my cheek.I refect back on my past like looking at a new you in a lake.I close the door, still thinking and I write,
Love is a precious thing,
Always treasure it.

I walk through the ront doorInto the rst roomLooking, searching.
Suddenly I hear a squeeky voiceCalling me, beckoning me saying,
reach out and have a go
I look around,spying or the source o the voice.Then I see it.
Sprawled next to the replace,A golden candle holder.Muttering the same wise words,
reach out and have a go,reach out and have a go,
reach out and have a go......

I woke up one day in my room
and something was showing o a lot o blinding light.It was making a very wierd sound.
Then I got a right that made my heart raceuncontrollably.There was a ghostly hiss,
I tried to look as the light aded.
Eventually I spotted a shining star.
It said to me with a ghostly hissThere is no such thing as a world without light
Then the light dimmed and it was a bottomless night.And then..........
Light slowly creeps back in.There is no such thing as a world without light.

I saw an angel on the door

It blew its trumpet quietly and gently.
When it plays it brings peace and happinThe door was a magical gateway to heav
I saw an angel on the door,

The new sun never stops shining.
I looked in the world it lives in,
it was a beautiul world with more
colours than a rainbow.
The colourul sun said to me
come into my beautiul world
because you can always shine,even in the dullest moments
Then a cloud suddenly came and it
started raining.But the new sun blazed through
the dullness.

I strolled up the stairs gazing at thewondrous patterns on the ceilings and walls.
Beautiul wooden art like wild ivyClimbing up mountain-high treesSurrounding the ellow neighbours
Towering over lower buildings
Ornaments
sitting,hanging,
pondering,throughout the house
Detail,
Amazing creativeness,I burst with utter awe.

I eat it, wedding cakeAs brilliantly as its stardust twinkles,
Its stardust twinkles,
As brilliantly as its wateralls all,
Its wateralls all,
As brilliantly as its dragonfy loops the loo
Its dragonfy loops the loop,
As brilliantly as its art gallery shows,
Its art gallery shows,As brilliantly as this house is brilliant.

On the colourul staircase
Every magical step eels like I am playing the key o a jazzy piano.
As walk through the huge willow tree arch to the bedroom,
I hear the beautiul trees swaying
I see happy joyul orest animalsDancing to the trees music.
And a peaceul sleep comes over me.

I saw the two horses pulling that cart,They said, my riend, love all, hate none,The people hold your key,I you want to nd it, dont look at me.That key is your uture, the uture is your lie.The horses are your models, ollow them
through,Surrounded by peace, harmony, light,Flowers, deers and rabbits.Love all, hate none, see all, we come as one.
