Mike Gentile Poet Triolet

To Dream Once More

To dream once more, to dream once more
                 To find that place which thrills me so
Where thought allows my mind to soar
         To dream once more, to dream once more
A wondrous world yet to explore  
                                 At last to feel I can let go
To dream once more, to dream once more
                 To find that place which thrills me so

What fun awaits, what fun awaits
                             The magic of an empty page
Anticipation captivates
                      What fun awaits, what fun awaits
When words are born to find their fates
                                   Imagination center stage
What fun awaits, what fun awaits
                             The magic of an empty page

To dream once more, to dream once more
                                   The fantasy of every age
it’s all that I’ve been waiting for
          To dream once more, to dream once more
The universe to underscore
                                         Reality to disengage
To dream once more, to dream once more
                                   The fantasy of every age
