with green pastures near
and unexplored realms beyond
one’s imagination soars
Sunlight shines where the sunbeams go
As the mists of time and its echoes flow
Although when serenely floating up on high
Thoughts of views and time just idle by

If we could float above the earth in magical balloons to places of contentment.
Wonderful thoughts in your beautiful poem, Tom.
