A Ship of Dreams

Close your eyes real tight
squeeze them just right

relax all your will
then, breathe to refill

the ship of your soul
so it reaches your goal

the out-of-body way
a spaceship for today

to take you out in the stars
away beyond Mars

as the cosmic winds bend
and roar when you descend

back to your body once more.

         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~for Matt Caliri's contest
                                        "How To Build a Spaceship"
