A LONGING By Stephen Cheng Silent seas Gentle waves Drifting sands Calming winds It soothes the soul Always welcoming It cleanses, refreshes, renews And oh I miss it so I never wanted to leave So far away So long ago Yet it seems only to be yesterday Oh how I wish to return How I long to be back in that heavenly realm And oh the memories I still see myself walking, running Swimming, and laughing How I want to bask again in the warmth of that paradise Just me alone In that little world And it felt, all right Liberating, in a way No masters, no limits As free as free can be And oh I miss it so I never wanted to leave And if I ever do I shall return And see again the beauty The beauty in the ever-silent seas The soft waves The sands forever drifting And the comforting winds Back to Unlimited Fantasy
