Dreams (Poem)

I dream of a world,
Where anything is possible.
If such a reality existed,
I could be a superhero girl.

I’d set out to capture a rainbow
And place it in a glass box
For the world to see and admire
Under secured key and lock

I’d pluck down the countless stars
Twinkling brightly in the pitch black skies
Perhaps one of them would grant me
Something precious that money can’t buy.

I’d cast the silver moon
Into a magical seeing orb
It could tell me the future,
It could tell me why,
People are flooding the world
With their endless tears and sighs.

I’d paint the sky one day,
With wild and glorious hues
In all the colours you’ve never seen
Like shocking violet, neon pink and even lime green.

But the world is not mine to control,
And it never will be.

Still, if I could touch,
Just a single heart,
If I could love and be loved,
I think I’d be the happiest person,
This world has ever seen.
