When Dreams Take Wings

Spread your wings, far and wide
Catch the breeze flowing beside
Soar up and above in the sky
Deep in a realm, where rules don’t apply.

Far away from your drab existence
Up and above the thoughtless motions
Bend the sunlight around your feathers
Cocoon yourself in a million glitters.

Learn to dream, for that’s the key
To remove the darkness & be free
Let your imagination take its flight
Over mighty mountains & goals out of sight,

Spread your fingers, & touch the unknown
Discover places you had never known
Open your mind, to roam the wild
Regain your innocence & be again a child.

Shatter the chains that had bound
Encapsulated your soul to the ground
For to dream, is the real freedom
And none can take away this mighty weapon.

Through your dreams you will know the path to take
Of future actions to follow in its wake
Our dreams are unique for everyone
So grab the chance before it’s gone

If you dream, you can do
Those impossible things you never knew
Were possible enough for you to do
By opening your eyes to a broader view.
