Shangri-La

SHANGRI-LA
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS




I longed for Elysium, in an unending search
I longed to join the chorus in Eden’s church
To bath in the warmth of an idyllic pool
To jump with joy like an unburdened fool
Combing the seas n heavens to no avail
Shangri-la was elusive, yet I refused to fail
Looking outward I could not reach my goal
Shangri-la resides in every mans soul
