The Ship of Dreams

 I wonder what dreams are

A glimpse, perhaps?

To what was, and could be?

A map towards the distant horizon

Sailing over the starry sea

Calm winds flow

Guiding the ship forward

Into the distant horizon

Nothing but stars

In the sailor's eyes

Looking out into the distant horizon

Is the horizon in front?

Or does it lie behind?

The nothingness, a testimony

To what is left behind

What could've been

Only the sailor himself knows

The next phase of the journey

Guiding the ship forward

Over the starry sea

Nothing but stars

In the sailor's eyes

The eyes that reflect

The stars in the sea

Ever tranquil, ever serene

Reflecting what could be

The endless possibilities

Each more beautiful than the last

Each more perilous than the last

Plain for the sailor to see

Reflected upon the starry sea

And into the uncharted sea we go

Along with the calm wind's flow

To the destination that lies ahead

Guiding the ship forward

Over the starry sea

Into the distant horizon

The dreams await
