There are so many fences all around.
Worries and fears weight me to the ground.
Others try to tell me what I can be,
but I have dreams no one else can see.

I'm going to travel from ocean to ocean.
Just pack and leave whenever I take a notion.
I'll wink at the moon or swing on a star.
I'll visit all nations, those near and far.

I'll ride the range like a cowboy of old.
I'll be a part of the legends that are later told.
I'll dance in the streets by the Broadway lights.
In a New York high rise I'll spend my nights.

I'll paint a portrait of world renown.
I'll discover treasure thought never to be found.
I'll do everything...sooner or later.
Even if I only do it on paper.


--You can either take me as I am...or you can watch me as I go.--

This is a very beautiful poem. I can't recall how many dreams I've written in my diary, but have never had ( and probably never will ) have the chance to experience them. I'm relating well to this poem.

If writing could
just make it so
Around this big world
I'd too go !

If I can't get there
on my own thoughts heard -
I'll travel the weave
of another's words.

*Thanks for the trip, my friend.
