The Dream Is Near

Inside I have a feeling and a fear
And though the truth is far, the dream is near
That I may feel a lifetime worth of sun
In just a moment’s time as few have done

And if my heart gets lost from time to time
Or burdened by the mountains yet to climb
I know upon my spirit it can trust
To be the mighty merchant if it must

And when the moon comes calling on my day
To nestle in the hills and fade away
I hope that I shall find another dawn
With all the present beauty and beyond
