I must go back to the dream, to peaceful slumber and the calm,
And all i long for is rest from these chaotic times;
And the silence of thought and the warmth of the covers embrace,
And the touch of memories and the life never lived.

I must go back to the dream, to hear the lonely calls
Be answered by thought and see the life never lived play through;
And all I ask is for one dim day hidden by dreams above,
And the company of imaginings singing their merry tune.

I must go back to the dream, to taste the ire of nightmares gone,
To feel the warmth of dreams beginnings and the doorway from certainty;
And all I ask is the place to rest my head from the day’s journeys
And a quite sleep and a sweet dream when the long days over.
Written for English class. "and a quite sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over." is the original last line, i don't know if by just changing trick to day if i can use it or not.. This is based off of John Masefield's Sea Fever, an excellent poem
