A Red Fantasy

I have been up in the mountains

I have traveled on the sea.

I have been to far off countries

But there’s one place I’d love to be.

I want to visit Mars one day

The red planet, so far away

I want to hike along its red dunes

Take a sail through its dried up bays.

Imagine seeing its fantastical moons

From the surface where I long to roam.

Taking cover while the wild sands blow

Making a crater my new home.

One day I will make that journey

Flying through outer space

I will see the red planet for myself

Have swirling winds whip in my face.
