Sea of Dreams

I sail on the empty sea.

In a boat, alone is me.

Long awakened from my dream.

My eyes behold harsh sunlight's gleam.

Found an island, swam to shore,

Soon, a boat I had once more.

Now to Hyrule I return,

The days are long, but sleep I spurn.

Have had enough of dreams unreal.

So from night's grasp I stay concealed.

Only take brief light sleep,

As I sail o'er sea deep.

The wind is up, to home I race,

While in my mind still lurks her face.

I shut my eyes, stay in the real,

But my memories I can't conceal.

But then, at last, sleep takes my soul,

Onto the wood my body rolls.

I see it all, I hear her voice,

I see what ended by my choice.

But then I wake, upon the sea,

Alone once more, in entropy.

My bearings, I think, am I now lost?

Has slumber reaped a mighty cost?

But I cry I hear from flying bird,

Above a seagull, here to herd.

I sign that I am near to land,

Near to Hyrule, home so grand.

So on I sail, and it flies,

The bird above in cloudless skies.

And as I take my boat along,

Within my mind, I hear her song.

And finally, on land I tread,

Free from the sea, and free from dread.

But an echo in my mind is heard,

I turn around and see the bird.

In but a moment, takes to wing,

While in my mind, still hear her sing.

Says, "look for me within your dreams."

I stand alone, in sunlight's gleam.
