Castle in the Sky
by Darin Carr

I once believed
I would succeed
and build my castle in the sky,
but slowly my dream did die...
I think my sights were set too high,
and never will I see this fantasy fly.
Maybe the castle walls were a bit too bold
constructed brick after brick of ruby and gold.
I dreamt of being served crumpets and tea,
but this image I will never see.
So I'll set my sights on a cabin made of mahogany.
