I Will Dream On

Watching the violet of dusk emerge from the sea’s horizon and the ship that disappears into it, I dream of a life full of adventure.

Picture By Sara Fellers

I watch a ship pass by on its way
around the world
on a journey

Out on the sea’s horizon
it looks beautiful
just like a painting

I wonder wistfully
about its destination
to a mysterious land

I want to explore
everything I can
beyond my sight’s end

This world of secrets
is waiting to be uncovered
and I am already packed

I won’t dig up the past
I will dream on
without looking back

I could be at peace if I stay
but I yearn and dream
with all my might

To see a world sparkling under the moon
A home still undiscovered
that turns colorful in golden sunlight

I spell out the word ‘Dream’
I write it in the stars
My own personal constellation

I want to hike misty mountains
And swim colorful reefs
Postcards I stare at are consolations

I want to follow this lantern-lit path
into the star-studded night
and find a secret land

And I will dream on
about the day I am on that ship
until my adventure begins
