The River of Dreams
By day I spend my time on Earth By night I sail on the river of dreams Filled with visions from every hearth Joining the river like tiny streams So many dreams and ambitions So many regrets and fantasies Dreamt by people of various nations Stretching over the river as far as I can see Many discarded and broken dreams Lie on the opposite shore Begging to be among the streams And longing to be more Does Morpheus ever sail by this river And look upon the dreams? Or does he merely give a sneer And continue sailing upstream? The river is my lone solace For here, I’m the queen And as sure as dreams can build palaces I will always sail this dream
