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
And laughter echoes loud across sun-drenched meadows

Leave behind the nine-to-five grind that will oppress
Leave behind the hustle and the bustle and the stress
Leave behind 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
