"Come all you travelers, wounded and worn,
Come over your mountains and streams.
Though bruised and abused, come be introduced
To the Citadel of Dreams.

The road has been hard, you're harried and hurt,
And the wide world's as unkind as it seems.
You're soak'n and broken, but kind words are spoken
At the Citadel of Dreams!

Come, come, and rest, forget your pains,
Or remember them among friends.
At the Citadel of Dreams you'll find
A welcome that never ends.

Come, come, and find your friends inside,
Come while the kind light beams.
Lend your voice and your ear, we'll sing and we'll cheer
In the Citadel of Dreams.

We have a hope, but for now it's buried,
It's a seed stuffed with stories and schemes.
For now it's winter, but we can't be bitter,
At the Citadel of Dreams!

Come, come, and rest, forget your pains,
Or remember them among friends.
At the Citradel of Dreams you'll find
A welcome that never ends.

The time will come, when the dark becomes dawn,
And the ember bursts into a flame
That lights up the sky, showing the world is my
Own Citadel of Dreams!"

-S. D. Smith

I found this poem (song, really), in one of his Green Ember books. I love the series, and the poems/songs in the books are fantastic! I'll be including more of them.

Also, I've had a "dry spell" of poems; while I have options from others available in books I've read, I haven't had any from fellow Wattpad users in awhile! Please feel free to submit your work! :)
