My Island

Thu, 11/15/2012 - 19:53 -- ash

I dream of an island
where my worries are held at bay
I am alone on this island
I just lounge all day

I watch the water
lap at my feet
I smile toward the sky
Can’t tell where earth and sky meet

I watch the dandelions dancing
In the wind, they are tossed
Its white fluff blows away
each a dream lost

I am alone on this island,
but I don’t mind
The real world is corrupt
So very unkind

I could spend my whole life here
wild and free,
but like all children, I must wake
This is only a dream

I wish I could stay,
but that wouldn’t be right
Dreams are dreams
pictures in the night

They say there is a place
for dreamers like me
But for now I watch
the sun set on the sea
