Off In Lala Land Poem by Robin Bennett

There is a place I'm headed and it's not very far,
it's name is la-la land, it rests under the northern star.
Home for the broken hearted, the lonely and the sad,
covered in lush flowers, dripped in honey; and lush lily pads.

Within it's borders contain a fountains of dreams,
paradise for the hopeless, winding through clear streams.
Slumber is filled with peace on clouds of dreamy sleep,
no need in this land does one ever need to count sheep.

Each night the stars dance in harmony with a faintly tune,
all while lingering under the guise of a brilliant clear moon.
Trade winds blow the scent of jasmine through the air,
serenity and calm are now yours to share.

So when the day is long, and the fight is hard,
the key is tucked away in a corner in your own backyard.
When the need arises and it's peace you do seek,
I shall be waiting for you near the sunshine creek.
