The River of Life's Dream
As I watch the flowing stream
I'm remind of that child's song
Where life is just a dream
Where the dark sky lights up with life
With stars that are glowing; shining
Far away, whispering to trees and
Rocks through the language of a breeze
The longer you row on
The more life seems so far long ago
That boat you made, the songs you sang
Were lost in the flood of life we made
And we learn that life is but a dream
In a child's mind of fantasy and naïve youth
It is all just a dream in the end
About this poem
This poem is one about my childhood, and how much it feels like a dream compared to my years as an older youth. This poem that I'm sharing is only the first and last stanzas, since otherwise it would be too long for the requirements.
