When we taste the flavor 

That another one savors



We become one with their objective

And want to follow their directive

For the sweet taste they did offer

Reminded us of visions we'd often



Seen in the near-reality 

We'd made out of a fantasy



And as we did partake of it

We did often make quite a bit

Of relish, as we mastered some

Of the tunes we'd penned and run



Through the eyes of our minds

As we'd fancied all of the kind

Of scenes we'd pictured so

In dreams of very long ago



And realization of visions blurred

As life passed on, and we heard

Fantasies stayed only in the mind

For nothing that sweet could ever find



A home in the reaches of this time

For things like that don't climb

Out of fanciful images we viewed

In times of past quite imbued



With really sensual longings

Which wound up creating song in

Hearts and minds which flowed

In the styles of long ago
