I Want To Dream Poem by Peter S. Quinn

I want to dream
Through day and night
Where the entire world seem
In the dreamy light
And stars go their way
In a dream come true
Where light is at play
Always to renew
I want to find my destiny
Be guided in its hope
Where all’s for you and me
By no means to elope
In every way possible
Where realty doesn’t count
Always to dreams accessible
Hard times shall surmount

I want to be a child
To find a wistful ray
Not be in times beguiled
Where dreams all go away
Where hope is impossible
To make active or try
Fantasies are accomplishable
Where make believe lie
I want to have a vision
In every colors too
With nothing of precision
In what to make and do
Just glide in my sleep
To find my own trance
When dream my eyes keep
In nocturnal instance

I want to dream
In flights of mind's eye
Rise thru the airstream
As distant as blue-sky
In every hope and call
Where no one has been
And rainbows are for all
In castle in the sky seen
I want to go and sing
That comes from my heart
And to the world bring
In every trust and part
All that is for a child
In innocence and clean
Ever so kind and mild
All early days have been
