Poem Artwork

And the dream

that you dream

falls apart

at it's very seam

as that moment unsure

arrives indiscriet

you feel so affraid

then when

you look down

you yell inside

wanting to hide

that dream falling apart

as you loose your head

trust in yesterday instead

like saying goodbye

to your dream forever,

forever was once so proudly never

no never ever

yet feckless you gave in to fear

looked down

at yesterday,

now you sigh

walk away

when dreams fall apart

cancelled

due to yesterday.

Not all my dreams come true, but many have already, there's always hope, but sometimes dreams will hurt us if they come true, and are not meant to be. Our maker gives us special things that he knows we need.

I couldn't help thinking of the parallel to the Beatles's, "Yesterday."

Yes, once we develop a dream, we must continue to look toward making that dream happen, lest it be shattered to pieces simply by looking back to the past. Nicely stated.

David
