Stowaway day dreams
Healing across the sea
Sending postcards with exotic stamps
From half a world away
Whispered calm reassurance
Wander’s soothing voice cooing in my ear
Courage waning, hesitation growing
Catching dreams with gaping nets
No walls, nor gates
No shackles to restrain me
Invisible hands reaching out of sidewalks
Tight grips cementing me in place
Set sails, open waters
Lost horizons from the shore
Tomorrow is another day
To paint this day dream once again
Mmmm. Calming. I feel as if I’m on that boat, and I hear your lullaby.

Years ago, a friend of mine and I thought about temporarily chucking our careers for a year to travel around the world. I planned the trip from LA, down to South America to New Zealand, through SE Asia. He picked up and planned through Africa and Europe and then back to the states, from east coast back to the west cost. There was a lot of day dreaming as we learned about different countries, places and people…. We never did take the trip, but the time day dreaming about it during the stressful days of work was a nice little escape to get me through the day….

Beautiful fantasy. Having a dream, even if it doesn’t pan out, can help our days be more bearable, I think. Hope is always a good thing.⛵️
