If
you dream
You have dreams.

They thought
I was crazy
they thought I was nuts
I heard laughter, jeering
silence
smirks that did suck.
From there I went forward
farther than most
believing in my worth
holding tight to that dream
I brought to fruition
this life
I hold close.

Working hard
But seem stuck in debris
Struggling, attempting
Fighting
To get free.
Is help on the way
Or
Am I by myself
Can I pull it off
Sit back, relax
Harbouring no doubt?
This I hope, I do pray
But as of now
I’m stuck
In
Disaster’s stinking muck.

What can
I say?
They’re only words
words that’ll disappear
go away
If they’re written
for all to read
to say
will they last forever
or
still disappear
go away?
I’ve written these words
I have spoke them
and
all I can really say
is. . .
I’ll wait, I’ll see
if
they disappear
just
go away.

When I look out to sea
I see you looking
looking back over
just at me
The waves roll in
and
back out again
bringing with them
a message from overseas
a message
you sent just for me
In my thoughts I touch your lips
say words of love
then send them
on the wind
over water, overseas
to you with love
just from me.
