Bethesda

I would like to go to the Himalayas,

To the place where the gods dwell,

To a land beyond imagination,

To a land vast in riches.

I would like to go to Egypt,

To the land of the pyramids,

I would like to read the hieroglyphs,

And uncover the secrets of old.

I would like to visit Carthage,

And speak with their queen,

I would like to cross into the hereafter,

I would like to visit the land of my dreams.

I would like to ride the solar winds,

In boats of the imagination,

I would like to cross the barriers of space,

I would like to unlock the secrets of time.

I would like to visit the sage Drona,

In his hermitage,

I would like to discuss with him,

The shape of things to come.

And perhaps,

I would like to go to the emerald isle,

To that paradise in the sea,

Where men and dolphin dwell in harmony.
