Dreaming

Within the sanctity of my mind I dream,

The goals I have set seem reachable, 

And the path that I walk seems easy,

Yet in reality the path is never simple,

Covered with the debris of failure,

It becomes a common obstacle course,

Forcing me to stumble and trip.

However with our dreams,

The impossible becomes true,

Yet we all have to come back down to earth,

We all have to face the morbid reality,

For what we dream is often a lost cause,

Do not despair however,

For as long as you dream there is hope.

Your dreams are like a spiritual fire,

For it will only burn out if you let it do so,

As long as we can dream we can finally succeed,

For every achievement and every task completed,

We can smile upon ourselves,

And watch as the dream manifests, 

Within the capable hands that build our paths.

I know this isn't great, but what's really expected of me if I have writers block

Great write! :)

hahaha it's rather lukewarm. I hate to be like this, but: when writing about dreams: people want to hear the Madness of the Dream, not the Greeting Card Language about Dreaming. You must get out of the ordinary and into the realms that have not been described. This writing is not yet novel, okay: and I realize the writer's block and do not suggest you go crazy or anything, but if you haven't read Arthur Rimbaud's writing and understood his poetic method, you should begin there ... also Tom Robbins ... persevere & illuminate, live free and intelligently and don't lose your writing or life to recklessness

Au contraire, John-Paul. I think this piece is more than great. It's quite moving.

"Do not despair however,
For as long as you dream there is hope."
I like the flow of thoughts and the strong ending. Dreams and hope is all we have sometime. Need to hold tight to them. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.
