To Drift Away

  

When I close my eyes
and drift away
I re-open old dreams of
new surprise
in younger days
before my life lines
became a haze
before street signs
became all one way
when all I needed
I could find
along the way
before the bind
of an every day
when a golden hind
docked to bay
before the future fined
a clocked fee  I'd pay
then suddenly I
came back to today
I realised luck had struck
needless to say
when you penned a new book
by coming my way
what we have cooked
will last an always
international cuisine
grilled in sunny rays
a new machine  
will kill
all the yesterdays .
