Distant shore

 I've actually had this dream all my life.

I've dreamt of waters splashing 

upon a distant shore

Of mountain rocks and hillside

and paths well trod with lore

I've heard the sound of music 

I've seen it as a sign

A figure sits upon a boat,

and says it's not my time

I've dreamt of rocks in water

Seen meadows stretched for miles

I've walked upon their trodden paths

Climbed over ancient stiles 

I've sat upon a green grass hill

And seen the vast shoreline

The figure sits upon a boat 

and says it's not my time

One day I'll dream forever 

One day I'll feel that breeze 

One day I'll hear the the water

And touch the earth and trees

One day the figure on the boat

will take me by my hand

and sail me on a journey 

to the blessed Summerlands.
