Morning sleepytime.

[jackshoegazer]

i followed a dream like the sun
setting in dark mountains
in foreign lands
with foreign tongues
and diaries which boast
of forgotten lore
on sun-drenched shores
with natives who scorn
a wanderer's ways
but lend aid
to a seeker's route
over the hill
and through the sea
where the sun will set
like a rainbow's end
and bring you back
to me.

This is beautiful. I would love to illustrate it as a children's book. Is that weird? Probably.

No, that appears to be the sentiment of this piece. It would even be a metaphor, not for a person, but trying to get your childhood back.

You moved it.

I can't decide if I like it better this way or not. I think it would make a nice children's book, actually. I can see it as a parent talking to their child, of Dreamland.
