Paradise; Ocean; Space

I See A Place (Paradise)

I see a place that’s far, far away
 A land that we could go, perhaps today
 An island, maybe, for just you and me
 No harms, no worries, just peace
 I see a place that’s warm and sunny
 Where there’s luxury, but no need for money
 The birds they fly, but never disturb
 Is imagining this so absurd?
 I see a place made just for us
 Somewhere where there’s no need to ever fuss
 A getaway that’s so very nice
 I see a land that we call our paradise

The Ocean

Here I am, standing in the sand
 With only my notebook, pen in hand
 I take a seat and stare into the ocean
 I think for a second and write the title with one swift motion
 I’m writing a story, inspiration is the sea
 I’m reflecting
 Reflecting on my past, looking at my future, just me
 I see the waves, sweep in, sweep out
 They’re so care free, nothing to worry about
 I envy the ocean and it’s free spirited ways
 While I have so much stress that has built up over the days
 I wish I were a wave so that I could finally be free
 I want to be part of the ocean so free, so me

Space

Look to the sky
 Look beyond what you see
 Beyond the clouds and the atmosphere
 See the galaxy
 A place we have such little knowledge on
 Places beyond the Earth, moon, and sun
 Millions of stars so brightly lit
 Billions of places to go in little rocket ships
 Out in the great beyond searching for adventure
 High in the sky, no gravity, light as a feather
 Look to the sky
 Imagine all of space
 Maybe, could you believe, there’s more than the human race?
