BUILDER OF DREAMS

It's a feeling that consumes you;

Deep within your inner soul

It grows from seeds sewn long ago,

Expanding to excessive measure.

 

Tall ship glides into your harbor;

Regal as her masts undress

And rest a while, lashed to your pier

Awaiting orders to set sail.

 

You, her captain, store her ballast.

You approve her manifest.

You alone must chart her course

And choose the sea she rides upon.

 

Destination at your bidding,

Sun and moon, the stars to guide as

Open seas unfold before you

And your crew unfurls her sails.

 

Favoring breezes build your hope

Preparing you for stormy seas.

Hope, your first mate, scans horizons

Searching to fulfill your dreams.
