The Bottled Dream

I tossed my dream upon the sea

Saying goodbye as off it drifted

Into the horizon, to drown its destiny.

And a burden from my heart was lifted

As it floated past eye's scope.

I danced released of chains, of faking,

And there appeared a brighter hope

Outshining the pains of forsaking.

And as the sands of time passed through

The hourglass, I returned one day

To that marina where long ago I threw

My bottled dream far and away.

I found my dream upon the shore

And, I did not want it anymore.
