To Dream

I dream of open skies and fields,

with less cries and less squeals,

with an ocean breeze not far out of reach,

and the sky above to thank for each.

I dream of simpler things and simpler times,

where making a “living” doesn’t decay our minds,

and to have and to love isn’t always lies..

times where you’re not always exhausted from putting up your best fight, which was never enough, even though it was

but no matter how hard you try,

if it is not desired, it will never reach the eye.

at the end of this road, you’ve survived the best and worst times of your life,

and though you’re tired, fret not, and do not cry.

relish in the beauty of what was

and cherish the story it gave off,

appreciate what it truly felt like to be loved,

and never forget the moment you knew it was..
