Lost Dreams

I spend my days walking on sky
And flying on the ground
I tread my footsteps carefully
Not knowing what's to be found
All over the world I fly
Taken by the feelings of dreams
Days and days and years go by
And still nothing is as it seems

Aimlessly soaring towards my home
I lead myself across the world
Throughout the seven seas I roam
To see no flag unfurled
Beautifully everlasting it stands alone
Not one can own its majesty
Hued in blue and camouflaged gold
It's watery wisdom captivates me

Being daring, elusive and far too bold
I plunge into its depths
There it's beauty I can behold
All the while eluding death
Strange reflections of technicolor
My eyes squint to see
Until the surface gets smaller and smaller
I break through and set myself free

Roamer and wanderer it's all a dream
Damned to the solid ground I cry
I attempt to unwind life's grand scheme
And whether it's all a lie
Can our wildest dreams come true
Or are we doomed to stand by?
This is the question I leave to you
Will I ever be able to fly?

    I could imagine the speaker/writer as an earthly dragon, transcending far above and wide of the rest of the world, free of the mundane woes of the mortal world.
    Free, period.

    The imagery and imagination! So amazing.

    "Beautifully everlasting it stands alone"

    ^That line completely describes this write!

    "Strange reflections of technicolor
    Mine eyes do squint to see
    Until the surface gets smaller and smaller
    I break through and set myself free"

    ^And those are my favorite lines. They are beauitful and full of emotion!

    Oh, and the last line was perfect. I think about that all the time actually...
