as I watch the sun fade away behind the palm trees that line up on the sea shore I begin to take stock and prepare to leave;
opening up my bag, with a view to clear the excess baggage, I find all I have is words and that does not seem to be enough!
a gentle breeze blows softly ruffling a few leaves and spreading a peaceful feeling that I never knew before!
clutching a pencil in hand, plenty of thoughts, plenty of ideas, I've got so much to say;
words unspoken, lurk around like hungry wolves, ready to devour the soul the moment I give in!
sitting here, I watch the people play games that I don't understand; games that don't mean a thing yet I stand in their midst;
alone with memories of what, once was, searching for reasons, to why and because I search for a reason and a purpose to keep going on for more!
as the night falls and the stars come out, I close my eyes and climb into my star ship, to go to a faraway land, leaving everything else behind, where I am safe, till morning light, filters in;
flying higher than the stars, I close my eyes and in this psychedelic mind space, weave many a dreams to write the chapters of my life! (to ease away the pain...)

Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world. - Harriet Tubman
