Across the Sea

From across the sea I stared, throughout the day
My eyes focused intent, in a longing way
There across the sea it lied, a foreign land,
But how I longed to be there, in familiar stand
I dreamt and I wished, to know such joy,
As such dreams would satisfy, this quiet boy
Over a span of years I glanced and waited,
Longing for the trip, I oft contemplated
In a boring haze of grey sky and bitter night
I would be overjoyed to feel that warm sunlight
Until one day I built a boat, and sailed fast
To leave my empty shell of home at last
The sun smiled with me in optimistic glee
To know at last I could be happy, feel so free
I arrived and was enveloped with joyous sights
As I was consumed by prestigious land and lights
The beauty I knew of was waiting patient
As I approached excited, yet hesitant
For weeks I lived among the denizens
Proud to be another of the citizens
Until one day the clouds came in so grey,
I recognized them, such a familiar day
The day I had expected had not come around,
To grace me with its presence on this ground
I stood by myself, alone in quiet,
In effort to sum it up, dare I try it
"Here in the land I longed for warming mirth,
I found nothing, but another day on Earth".
