The Journey

Lying in bed, I closed my eyes
And as I dreamt, I was surprised
To see things, things I never thought
I would ever see, things I never sought
In my life.

I saw myself floating through time and space,
Experiencing other sides of the human race,
Meeting people from distant lands,
Happy faces and clasped hands.

I smiled then, in my dream
As I saw what I most wanted to see:
A new beginning, a new day,
A chance to see life in a better way.

I woke from my dream and saw my room,
Bathed in light from the outside moon.
I looked out the window and I whispered: "Soon."
