To Dream
by Daniel "Spuks" Mansell
9/18/99
Variations of thoughts made one in the same
Seen through to envision more clear
To alter reality but not out of reach
To dream what can never disappear
While taking on paths that enlighten within
With every light fresh and anew
The limits are vanquished never to threaten
What the heart of a dreamer can do
All that it seems in all that becomes
Is so different from beyond looking in
While nurturing hope from only inside
Proves sufficient to a journey's begin
It's in finding the spark and then welcoming the flame
It's in all that can happen in time
For the nature of life is kept in its heart
By a will that is not hard to find
Opening new pages in chapters of growth
That tend to go unmentioned
Pondering the possibilities can open reality
To a new and free dimension
To hang on to what goes beyond our sight
If only to dream whatsoever
To let loose of a tried and given world
If only to dream forever
