The Reality of a Dream

I have felt the bliss, of a daughter’s kiss, and realize what heaven must seem. For in all my life, thru happiness and strife, my daughter’s laughter consumes my dreams. I have sailed afar, and traveled the stars, in search of a more beautiful feeling. I’ve flown by air, for this beautiful love affair, that sends my heart and soul a reeling. I’ve rode the train, in search of a domain, where love feels as brilliant as this. I’ve swam the ocean, with perfect motion, yet always amiss to finding this bliss. I’ve treaded the bush, in Australia I push, demanding they show me the path to glory, but I leave empty handed, though I’ve demanded, a beautiful ending to this tormenting story. I’ve lived my life, searching for who I am, and always do I come up short. I fret and I ponder, for a love that is fonder, than this love in my dreams I distort. Still I fail, to no avail, to find a reality as grand, than the laughter I hear, in this dream I command. I ‘ve walked life’s path, in search of a resolution, mindless to an ultimate desperate conclusion. For a dream is an illusion, a visionary infusion, a poignant resolution to all confusion – and a dream is just that….a dream.
