Take Me Away to the Orange-Roofed Place
ED 1/9/22 inspired by Texas scenery on the drive back home.
Take me away to the orange-roofed place
Where bigger is better
And life takes up space
Take me away to the home I long for
Where everything is quaint
And I couldn’t want more
Take me away to the land I love
That reminds of dreams
And the things I’m sure of
Take me away to the idyllic town
That’s just picture perfect
In a burnt sienna crown
Take me away to the puzzled village
Where my mind is free
From secular spillage
Take me away to the dire vacation
Where I try to sleep
Tethered to the space station
Take me away to the orange-roofed place
Where I’ve never been but
Won’t leave a trace.
