Beyond the Laughing Sky

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Why does the whispering wind sound like a lullaby? Is that the magic music from beyond the laughing sky? Why can't the swallows remain? Where is the place they fly? Why can't I go along with them, beyond the laughing sky? If I climbed the highest tree, where oh where would I be? Would I find the place for me, in the land of grand enchantment? Where do the clouds disappear when they go rolling by? I'm wondering about the world beyond the laughing sky...
