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
