The Wish

I soar on the back of my dragon who’s strong wings have yet to fail me. I fight in battles for the good of those I love.  My sword never leaves my side as I travel the world.  My hand is steady as I pull back the string on my bow so that I might have fresh game for supper.  I laugh wholeheartedly at whatever pleases me and spar with words when ever I find an opponent worthy. I have climbed mountains and crossed oceans. I fear not what the next day will bring for it is today I live for.
Then my eyes open and I heave a heavy sigh.  Before my lays the book that has all I need to know for my final.  The wish to enter into the another world with exciting adventure is strong but the reality of the world I am in would be foolish to forget.  So I open the book in front of me and with a quiet resolve I choose to be happy with being the boring book worm I am and leave the adventure for a time when life calls for it.  Although that doesn’t mean I will keep my mind from straying every now and then like right now……
