A Dreamer

Like a bird
I want to croon daylong
wing off the cage to where I belong.

Like a reed 
I want to sigh my wind
pipe my heart artfully to no end.

Like a song
I want to voice my inner harmony
as mind and soul merge in beauty.

Like ripples
I want to expand my feel
send waves shimmering with zeal.

Like Euterpe
I want to touch souls and inspire
my musing, my music are to admire.

Like a poet
I want to cast a spell of wit on my pen
and have the world of words as my den.

Like a dreamer
I want to walk on boundless paths
a free spirit lured by heights and depths.

Our thoughts are more or less similar ! Strangely my aspirations coincide with your aspirations !"Like Euterpe I want to touch souls and inspire my musing, my music are to admire". No doubt your words touch souls and take them to mysterious realms where all goodness and beauty exist. You wield your pen to weave magic, Besma !
