"When the path your walking to your dreams becomes blocked, change directions not the dream!"


Poem Artwork

Sometimes dreams careen off course/
doors close/
promises blow/
away/
like powdery dust particles/
illogical/
or so it seems/
but in reality/
detours/
act as back-doors/
to the dreamer/
determined to succeed/
to the dreamer determined to succeed/
detours are not finality/
they're just a pause/
she shall succeed eventually/
she knows/
she grows/
transposed

Why am I thinking of Hillary Clinton? I believe it's already too late for her, even if she has transposed. Why do I have these kinds of daydreams in the middle of reading poetry? I don't know.

When I read your poem, I know a good woman will find a way.

I enjoyed reading your well-written poem today. It tells a true story.
Never give up. Where one door cloes. Another one will open.
This poem inspires one to keep the faith. Don't give up.
Thanks for writing it.
