Dream of the Sky

Across the plains and snowy mountains,

Through forests and vast sands.

My eyes are pointed forward,

My body follows mind's demand.

To keep on going faster,

To find new sights to see.

To be as swift as any dragon,

To set mind and body free.

The wind, it whistles in my ears,

Above me is the sun.

Or sometimes it is stars and moon,

Yet onwards I still run.

Beside, before, behind's my shadow,

Companion, all the while.

Ever onwards, faster still,

Greater is my smile.

I imagine flight as I press onward,

To move through air, not earth.

To soar free, defy gravity,

Not left stuck in the dirt.

But eventually the dream must end,

Time comes to head for home.

Even though I yearn to fly,

Across the world to roam.

But Carol, Milla, they're my friends,

Greater than any dream.

So now at last I'm homeward bound,

Yet still under sunlight's gleam.
