Are Dreams but for Fools?

Often I have been told, Quit Dreaming !
Told, that dreams are but for fools alone.


I beg to differ, I so often dispute,
for dreams are but silenced memories, waiting to be born.


These that lie in the conscious of your sub-conscious,
and in realms of ethereal desires.


Are these not what one should make of life,
or are they but meant to stay forever locked ?


Some places I have travelled, roads that I have walked,
have been for me, the realization of some dreams.


Do I negate now, and seal alI these dreams away forever  ?
just because, so often I've been told !


No:... fear will not keep them locked away, if anything,
I will dream them to the fullest.


Learning to savour each and every emotion felt,
and soon, to become a reality, by which I will live.


Will you too, learn to dream a dream of vivid truth ?
will you join your hand in mine, so we may walk united ?

Dreams bring change. Dreams make us creative. Surely, dreams are important. Beautiful poem and picture.

Dreams are what inspire vision, and without vision we cannot be focussed and may lack purpose and momentum; our unharnessed energies may become self-defeating and we can become spent and aimless... haven't a clue what I'm talking about really, but sounds a good reason to KEEP DREAMING, Elga!! Absolutely riveted by the idea of "learning to dream a dream of vivid truth" - sounds the waytogo!! I'm with you 100% - dreaming of the truth! LOL Kate xx

forget. Beautiful poetry, exquisie art and sentiment Elga! I think you have the wisdom to know to follow your own path and listen not to the naysayers!;-)
