I hope this doesn't break any of the a fore mentioned rules...I like it, and it's a very emotional piece for me...not bluntly furry, but I hope it's acceptable anyhow

My Dream
I dream above the ragged earth,
I hope beyond the seas,
Waters deep, and glittering blue,
They hold no call for me.
I reach beyond the mountain tops,
Through the dark’ning mirror of night,
Over snow and star-capped ice,
I see with truer sight.
'Dreams die hard' The old one said,
And it was truth that he did speak.
'Let the young, the pure of heart,
Fly past water, snow, and peak!'
I wish upon a golden star,
I know where destiny must lie,
A dream, a hope, a single prayer,
And stretched before me is the sky!
A higher calling than the waves,
To see the heavens as more than a sign,
To touch; to know the clouds above...
To call all dreams mine!
