Simply Dreams Poem by Dale Mullock

Have you ever jumped from a plane,
free-falling to the ground below?
Have you ever walked the Antarctic
and tussled with its cascading snow?
Have you ever been fired from a cannon,
shot and blown through the air?
Have you ever ridden the biggest, fastest
and tallest rollercoaster at the funfair?
These are the wishes that I make and create.
These are the wonders that I contemplate.

Have you ever stood at heaven’s gate
and knocked upon its door?
Have you ever floated into the sun
and bathed in the heat of its core?
Have you ever found the end of a rainbow
and captured its multitude of light?
Have you ever drifted on a summer breeze,
and rode the winds like a kite?
These are the dreams to which I aspire.
These are the emotions that I desire.

Have you ever climbed the highest mountain
and tried to touch the stars?
Have you ever flown a rocket past the moon
and landed on the red soil of Mars?
Have you ever ventured and explored
the deepest magma pitted caves?
Have you ever dived deep into the oceans
to discover the life below the waves?
These are the fantasies that I crave.
These are the daydreams that I save.
