If I were free to travel
I'd travel far away
And find a spot in sunshine
With a view across the bay
Where the breeze would push the sailboats
And the palms would greatly sway
There I would find contentment
And in solitude I'd stay.

But this world is tough on dreamers
No fortune can we claim
Except in our dream castles
That can't be sold for gain
So perhaps I'll never travel
And never see that bay
And never see the sailboats
But in dreams I'm there each day.

me too, man, me too.

This is truly an amazing write, and it sings like a song in my mind. Keeping it.

Keep it up. Looking forward to more.

"Now if I seem to be afraid
to live the life that I have made in song,
well it's just that I've been losing for so long" -Jackson Browne 'These Days

Paints the picture in the minds eye. Dreams are one thing nobody else gets to tamper with. Keep dreaming those dreams.

Never give up dreaming! While there is a good chance of tomorrow happing keep in there!
The poem has a refreshing lyricism about it and it would be a pity just to give in.
