Australian Poetry: A House - Private property sailing the skies?

To dream

The impossible

House

To fight

The unbeatable

Banks

To bear

Vacant

Distant

Tomorrows

To plant

Where the sane

Do not sow

~

To face

The unfaceable

Land

Set high

On mountains afar

To love

Bushland mists

By the sea

To touch

Untouchable stars

~

This is a quest

To follow that life

No matter how fruitless

No matter the strife

To fight

For the light

Without question

Or laws

To be willing

To dive

Into hell

For a visionary cause

~

And I know

If I only imbue

This heavenly quest

With dreams

I'll sail

Joyful and free

Till I lay in my nest

~

And the world

May be better for this

That one life

Torn

And riddled with scars

Still walked

Weighted

Heavy

With anguish

To touch

Untouchable

Stars
