Take my hand,
And we will walk through the quiet pastures,
Clearing white fences along the way.
I will show you the metal dragon,
All lizard green
With rusted golden edges
That set on wheels like giant boulders.
I will climb inside,
And start its engine rumbling,
And you will follow us into the Ohio sea,
Watching how it rakes, it plows,
So light and practiced.
And with leaded hearts
We will leave it there,
Turn off the stars,
And bid it
Goodnight.

Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible. ~T.E. Lawrence
