[hometext] => when i was a boy i left london and stayed with the school in an isolated farm house in the wild welsh mountains and this gave me my love for the wild. then a while ago a friend told me of his near death experience and his vision of heaven.This is mine.
[bodytext] => I can see the sheep grazing still High upon the purple hill, Hear the mountain stream has she gurgles out her song, The old house crying out welcome back, you've been gone too long, Out here amongst the wild things, at peace without a care, Have you been to heaven son? Yes sir, I've been there. I can see the grey slated roof and the pealing paint on the door As I step inside and walk along the cold flagstone floor, I hear the hiss of the fire, see the leaping of the flames, Hear voices without accents and faces with no names. In this room are memories frozen deep in time, Have you been to heaven son? Yes sir, and it's rather fine. I can hear the fatal echo of the advancing of the years, The slow unchallenged drag of time, the unleashing of my fears. But out here amongst the wild things and lost in my dreams Nothing much is real now nothing quite what it seems. For I'm flying with the red kite high above the trees Swooping low over mountain tops my uncertainties tossed to the breeze. These then are the memories from which, pray God, I'll never part. Have you been to heaven son? Yes sir, the landscape of my heart.
