I was always one to imagine
stories in the clouds
Played dot to dot with the stars
Let a rush of waves
carry me to wondrous worlds.
I've dreamt the most delicious of dreams
But now it's time to wake up:
Clouds are just clouds
Stars merely stars
The ocean a torrid torrent of terror
And dreams,
dreams should be left to slumber.
Beautiful illustration paired with these words.
So lovely. Did you create the illustration as well? It's beautiful.
