I Dream

I dream not of a lovers touch,
but of a wandering star.
That which hangs within the night,
asking that I reach far.

I dream not of fairy tales,
that never make any sense.
But of a better reality,
on my side of the fence.

I dream not of unheard of wealth,
to hide and squirrel away.
I just dream that come the night,
I'll wake up the next day.



For the contest: Whatever, Next
