Dreams

by nathan-striegel

My dream is to sail the open seas And the lands void of trees. To see the open world under the night sky Without any trouble. For this I will try My hardest to achieve. To dream In tandem with reality and have no seam. Only pure life, love, and freedom to sail. Freedom to go wherever I want on this trail, This path known as me. I shall not simply be just to be. To just live and die is no life at all, No adventure or fun. I would simply stall Until I have lost myself through and through. That life is for all but a few. I am one of those to choose to do more And never settle this score With the beast called life. I will run through all of my strife, All of my pain, all of my hurt. With my own death, I will flirt Until it obeys me with no end. Its will is my own to break and to bend. Then when all has been done And I have won. I will look back, and see all those Who looked upon me and chose To stay. To just sit there and lay Until they are only my past, Nothing that will ever last But a few fleeting moments of time As I push ahead. I have atoned for my crime And am ready to go. To go and go and never to slow. This is who I am. A dream, with no limit, No end, no one can stop it. So until I have spent my final day. My path is clear, my way Is true. I have never believed in luck, All it did was get me stuck. My name, Is one with so little fame, So little praise. Yet it always comes with a simple true phrase. Live, you are only alive for a time.
