Can An Ambitious Dreamer

I have yearned to breathe new air, explore new worlds and new suns that shined; I have longed for eyes with the spark of trust inciting me and giving a name to a flower that bloomed; have I found any of these: is it love or lust? Am I looking for someone to cuddle gentler than an adorable teddy bear and fall asleep holding a double? Can an ambitious dreamer live free, get rid of his dreams and ride on clouds, not knowing where they'll take him? Can an ambitious dreamer give up everything when that woman comes along and imprisons him, and he can't find a way to flee, or hide inside fast-moving crowds? I have felt a longing for freedom, not to hold arms and kiss lips; it's something bigger than yearning... turning into that eagle fearless of winds and aware of dangers searching for another sky, to discover where the Seventh Heaven is and allow this repentant sinner to hum hymns with angels while tears multiply! Can an ambitious dreamer do what he has never done and conquer his worst fear? Can an ambitious dreamer get by without any aspiration and nullify what kept him afloat in rising water relying on faith alone? His testament attests he was mocked a lot for his unrealistic ideas, but he won: kneeling down and praising Heaven!
