I've Been Dreaming.

I’ve never been able to see myself from a distance.
Not five years, not tens.
Not five months, I’ve never been
Able to clearly see what lies ahead, future tense.
Rich, with a fine Gent,
Or a hippie with street sense.
There are some romanticized dreams, aspirations,
Traveling vacations,
Advertising destinations.
To sit in the shade and sip on some coffee drink,
To listen to you think,
With dirty dishes in the sink.
I want to help others in an unknown foreign land,
To lend someone a hand,
Drag the ending through the sand.
Maybe write a book filled with poetry of my own,
To call a house my home,
With kids in a school zone.
I’ll visit the city lights, but live only with the earth,
To find my spiritual rebirth,
With no concern of my worth.
I suppose what I want truly is peace or happiness,
Show love to the lochness,
To live, not to possess.
