Dreams from the Sea

PROMPT: Write about a boat who wishes he was a plane.

By M. Hendrix

I look up into the skies above me

Wishing I could be up there too

But I cannot fly above the clouds

My life is among the waves

Moving where the winds take me

If I could go up there

I would see everything below me

There would be nothing in my way

Nothing obscuring my vision

But as I am not a plane

I am trapped in the sea

Why must it be like this?

Why can’t I fly in the sky?

Reaching higher and higher

Leaving the world behind

All I can do from down here

Is go lower and lower

Sinking into the sea

And forgotten in time

I might be stuck as a boat

But in my soul

I long for the dreams

And the life

Being a plane would give me.
