Cabin of the Dawn

An excerpt from the TV movie 'Sweet Hostage' where LInda Blair is reading her poem, Cabin of the Dawn to Martin Sheen.

CABIN OF THE DAWN

My truck broke down on my way back home:
And along came a man speaking in poems:
I thought he was nuts when he called himself Kubla Khan:
And he took me away to his Cabin of the Dawn::

At first I thought I was in a terrible mess:
But he made me a lady even bought me a dress:
He taught me all sorts of things from the very start:
He opened my mind and gave wings to my heart::

At first I couldn't figure this funny man out:
But then I realized he's teaching me what life's all about:
Like wanting things enough can make them come true:
I guess that's what he means by Xanadu::

Life on that farm was almost like hell:
Now I'm Queen of England and my name's Christabell:
We dine on delicacies and plenty of fruit:
And I dance for him as he plays his flute.::

I think he's been awfully lonely for a while:
and just needs a friend to make him smile:
What he doesn't know is he's got one in me:
And together we make awful nice symmetry::

Look to the stars.
