Standing on the precipice of a vast and glimmering ocean
In the depths of which are all of your hopes and dreams
Diving in head first as dreamers often do
You are quickly submerged
Mesmerized by the weight of what you have done
The gravity of the reality of pursuing a dream
You push off the rocky bottom to emerge once more
Gulping and gasping for air
Once back on the surface you can see boats and ships sailing quietly by Already floating on the surface of their dreams
Never even glancing your way as you paddle within the depths of yours
Your arms grow tired and your legs begin to cramp
Yet you struggle on
The weight of your dream pulling you down
Those ships float right by as you sink
The cool water of that dream tugging on you
Losing yourself in it
Tired of swimming
Weary of the struggle
The hopeless horizon with the outline of those uncaring ships
Silently now sinking, finally giving in
Bubbles emerging as the life of your dream escapes from you
The dark blue waters fade to darkness around you
Then something
A rumbling of rushing water churns around you
Someone diving down to grab you
Pulling you up out of the depths, out of the cold
Supporting you now on that ocean
Floating now with you on that sea of dreams
Propelling you forward into a now hopeful horizon
