I remember well the imaginary place

Set in a distant corner of time

The clock on the wall made its hourly call

In the majestic and regal entrance hall 

I remember well the imaginary place 

Within sat a man with a serious countenance

Reciting again and again the same phrase

Looking around like a child seeking praise

I remember well the imaginary place

The tapestry on the wall of finest silk

The wall washed in paint white as sheets

Acrobats in the garden performing with amazing feats

I remember well the imaginary place

Sensations and knowings lost without thought

Soldiers recalling for what they had fallen

Photos showing their heroic calling

I remember well the imaginary place
