I am...a wanderer and a dreamer
I wonder at the beauty of a dew kissed rose
I hear the song of faeries at play
I see unicorns on the edges of my memory
I want a lovefilled life, his hand in mine
I am...a wanderer and a dreamer.

I pretend theres always a tomorrow
I feel the rainbows colours showering over me
I touch dragons wings, soft as newborn child
I worry about the world my kids are growing into
I cry at children on the street
I am...a wanderer and a dreamer

I understand love should last a lifetime
I say follow all your dreams
I dream of a world at peace with itself
I try to be the woman I believe I am
I hope for a love thats forever
I am...a wanderer and a dreamer...

yes...this is the you we have come to know thru your poetry and replies...
beautiful write Paula...
of the many challenges weve done here...this one was always my fave...as it allows us to see our fellow poets thru their own eyes
and also the challenge of writing to the templates format using the phrases.
I see Alicat has posted it for us again in the Poetry Challenge forum....very cool to see this one go round again  

Well done poetess of the Unicorn...
heres to finding those dreams

Feels like Im dancing with truth and wisdom
Precious rhythm you are my guide
These days are sacred, my heart is humble
Oh warrior show me the light

Paula, this is a beaut, showing your fantasical whimsy and romantic soul at it's best, and most poignant.

Well done!  It's good to see another one of these.  I'd kind of forgotten about the challenge.  You've done a poignant piece here.

I too pride myself as a dreamer. Though I have never been capable of putting so beautifully into words.  Your message is one I relate to, one that I wish more would listen to, if not learn from.  Much apprciated, thanks for sharing.

you left out one heck of a good poet...and a warm, caring human being...but we all know that, anyway  

...and let's not forget...
