Dreamers

and they're all breathless

telling me of the doctors who defied odds and

the athletes who destroyed records and

the CEOs and chefs and

and what if,

yes I think they're cool and

I don't know

yet

and there's something beautiful

in climbing the mountains behind my house smiling

because the I can always see this view

when I close my eyes

beautiful in laughter

whether I made it happen

or watched it

or thought of laughing

beautiful in this not knowing

at fourteen not knowing

they want to know I don't

know if I do

so I'll be drawing and imagining and biking

and someday I'll find other dreams too

maybe but

I'm happy to dream of the stars and the hills.
