Dreaming

Sometimes overwhelming life gives so much Unable to understand it's bewildering touch I dream of sailing away to a distant shore Envisioning new places I might explore Eyes closing to the world engulfed by imagination Listening to waves crash savoring new sensation Blanket of warmth from the noon day sun Slipping off shoes to feel the warm sand as I run Loosening the ties of long pulled back hair Letting it flow in the breeze from the ocean air Bending to touch what's left on shore from the sea Savoring the scents and feeling glorious and free Awaken to the reality not so easily done I'd rather be enjoying the salty air and sun
