Wild Wild Dreams

I'm caught up in these wild dreams.

From behind a cage,

I see them fleeing 

Away.

I chase the madness,

Race with a pack of 

Conniving wolves.

I do it all in my head, 

While my feet still stand 

On the ground.

I touch the moon, 

Drink the sea, 

Climb all mountains

Like Jack and Jill.

I want to make 

memories and laughter 

Like there's never been.

I want to run among huge trees

And chase the breath of a dying wind. 

I want to learn all that there is to know, 

See the best of our Earth as I need to grow.

I want to see a humpback Whale 

Just once in my life, 

Oh! How badly I'll grasp that day. 

I want to see the northern sky,

The aurora resting in its lap,

And maybe taste a perfect pie.

I want to catch each fleeting dream,

Make it my own,

And paint it into being.

I want to shatter this cage I'm in,

Stop watching these birds,

Instead, flutter my wings!
