Dreams

I’ve sailed across the seven seas and scrambled over hill and dale. I’ve heard the wind sigh through the trees and watched the moon grow thin and pale. I’ve walked the walk, I’ve ridden long and floated in a high balloon. I’ve swum in tides, with currents strong, and wallowed in a quiet lagoon. I’ve tasted wines from near and far; I’ve sampled food both cooked - and raw. I've eaten some that looked bizarre and some so tough I had to gnaw. But now I'm old, I visualise my trips across the seven seas. At length, I sit and close my eyes and dream - with all my memories. ~
