Dreams

I dream of a cottage perched high in the hills
A garden growing vegetables, herbs and Daffodils
Horses are in the valley where the green grass grows
A place where life means more than it does right now

More than the nine to five grind that will oppress
More than the hustle and the bustle and the stress
More than the smog and nameless faces in the crowd
A place where I belong...a place where I'll be proud

The Milky Way showers the ground with omnipresent light
Billions of stars in a galaxy that fills the sky at night
A cool breeze accompanies the sunshine of another glorious day
As evening chases the sunset...a never-ending game they play

The sand under my feet is soft and white
Only one set of footprints do I see under the bright sunlight
Until a second appears beside my own, bringing a drink and a smile
Heaven here on earth on an emerald isle

A dream is our slumbering mind filing our daily thoughts away
But can also bring us hope for a brand new day
Dare to dream and that's the first step you should take
The life you deserve...a life you can remake
