The Flight of Dreams

The Flight of Dreams

A Poem by Melinda McQueen

The Flight of Dreams

 

Long shadows befall,

Carrying darkness in slender fingers.

Creeping, it slowly crawls

And lingers.

 

Blinking its eye,

Its grip firm.

The dream longs to take flight,

Seeking its turn.

 

Winking at obstacles in the way,

The flight of dreams soar.

Caring not about the grey,

But focusing on what’s in store.

 

Though stumbling blocks refuse to roll,

Its journey isn’t deterred.

Square and hard to control,

Yet, the dreams never blur.

 

Believing in the heart

That there is a glowing light in which leads,

Keeping the faith even in the dark

Is the flight of dreams.

Powerful and honest thoughts dear Melinda.
"Believing in the heart
That there is a glowing light in which leads,
Keeping the faith even in the dark
Is the flight of dreams."
