Chasing Dreams [Wattys 2015]

13

I have always
wanted to sit
on a cloud,
To be floating
above all the
people below,
Have birds flap
their beautifully
crafted wings
right beside me.

Imagining a reality
of that kind
is almost
impossible.

Instead, I gaze up
into the sky,
place my wish
on a star,
and hope.
