Shangri-la

[The Assassin]

I see a beautiful place from afar
The lost valley of Shangri-la

A place of legend where warrior's fell
Enveloped in mist with many stories to tell

Cherry blossom leaves float in the air
A hidden place sculpted by hand with care

Hot springs bubbling and giving off steam
I begin to wonder if I am in a dream

The temple stands between the waterfall's
Ancient statue's and art filled it's hall's

I stood still and moved down to my knees
Kneeling in silence beneath the cherry blossom tree's

Alone in the valley of Shangri-la without my kin
Feeling the cool breeze against my skin

I watched the glow of the golden sun as it set
A beautiful memory I could never forget

I heard the sound of a trickling stream nearby
As I kneeled beneath the blossom's watching the bird's soaring high

This is Shangri-la a place of mystery
So peaceful and full beauty for us all to see
