Alora is on a journey.
I dream she sees,
A large brown walrus in the Hudson Bay
A million fish swimming alongside her
And a beautiful night sky filled with stars and a great full moon
I know she will feel
Excited about her travel to the sea
Surprised by an animal who scared her
Shocked by the cold water when she first felt it
I hope she hears
The chilling howls of a dozen wolves
The motor of a boat at lake Winnipeg
An ear splitting foghorn in the Hudson Bay
She will meet
Billy Jo who will find her while hiking up the Red River
Paulene who will pick her up in Lake Winnipeg
Keith who will hold her in the Hudson Bay
I dream she goes,
To the salty, deep, blue sea
She will wander there until the wind and the rain wears away her color
Leaving her blank but happy
