Thinking of dreaming?

I should have been a pair of ragged claws

Scuttling across the floors of silent seas.

I sit pensive,
An overwhelming question
On my mind
Looking for an answer to find,
A dream to live.

What have I to give,
Words whispered into the darkness
My test,
To do as I am bidden
Or to follow the dream,
I have so long hidden.

What would I glean
What opportunities lost,
What lessons to be gained
Either way,
It could all be in vain.

A Nugget,
A gift or fools gold
One moment
That is what I am told.

A one way street,
I wait to meet the end
But I go on
No destination in sight.
Could it be i was wrong

Would it have all been worthwhile
A decision made
But nothing decided
Through the fog I must wade
My destination faded.

To dream the impossible dream
To watch the dream go by
A talent never to be seen
I wonder why the dream went by.

you're awesome. I like the depth and chaos in the thoughts of the character. Typical of almost every man and woman without them even knowing it. Very insightful. :-)

I liked this poem quite well! What a heart wrenching thing to know what you want, but can't seem to find a way to get it. Very well stated feelings and emotions.

simply heart tugging and ambitious, speaks so clearly and defining,
"to dream the impossible dream" that is such a classic line and the
surrounding lines captures the grace of the agony, which feels
like the failing of inspiration the the death of hope, brilliant job,
I really enoyed reading this!
