To Where the Rivers Flow

~~I lie awake
Eyes staring
My dream is at stake
I’m shivering

I imagine
What I would have therein
Within a dream
What it would deem

At last
I fall asleep
A dream to keep
Awaken within a dream

Tis lovely here
No burden to bear
The greenery
Imagery

The trees
Down on my knees
Tis oh serene
A tranquil stream

It flows within my blood stream
It shines with a gleam
Reflected upon a mountaintop
I do not want it to stop

There is a sparkle within my eyes
I’m far away from all the lies
All of this seems so real
At last, I could feel

A gaze upon a maiden
She looks like an angle from heaven
She loves me for me
And my poetry

Perhaps this is but a dream
But I cherish such a dream
Though it may not come to pass
She still has my heart of glass

Perhaps it is but a fantasy
For who would love someone like me
Perhaps this is far from reality
But even still, I shall keep it with me

If there is such a maiden dressed in white
I shall wait for the day we unite
I will journey high and low
Lie in wait to where the rivers flow
