IMAGINATIONS BEYOND<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Adventures near and far<\/em>
\nand always beyond <\/em>
\nwhere I used to imagine<\/em>
\nI could ever go<\/em>
\nas carried so high <\/em>
\nand far away,<\/em>
\nfantastical balloons<\/em>
\nlifting me high above<\/em>
\nthe usual I so often see<\/em>
\nto places beyond <\/em>
\nwhere I thought I could be,<\/em>
\noverwhelmed, yet inspired<\/em>
\nby all that I see<\/em>
\ndrifting and floating<\/em>
\nthrough the air <\/em>
\nalong with me.<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Magical sailing ships,<\/em>
\nfrom here to beyond,<\/em>
\ntransporting me<\/em>
\nthrough dreams<\/em>
\nof my nights and my days,<\/em>
\nas I imagine what it must be like<\/em>
\nin those places beyond<\/em>
\nthe horizon’s far edge<\/em>
\nthat I’ve only seen<\/em>
\nfrom the shore.<\/em><\/p>\n

And as I watch them,<\/em>
\nI’m drawn right in <\/em>
\nto their fantastic journey<\/em>
\nto wherever and beyond.<\/em>
\nAnd gladly accepting <\/em>
\ntheir grand invitation,<\/em>
\nI can’t help but join with them <\/em>
\nas we sail beyond the horizons <\/em>
\nthat I saw in the distance<\/em>
\njust yesterday <\/em>
\nas I could only<\/em>
\nwatch <\/em>
\nfrom the shore.<\/em><\/p>\n
