Into the Sunset

Into the Sunset

 

The day’s done

and all seems quiet.

Sitting on the shore,

her heart full of dreams… she can’t deny it.

It lives inside her,

awaiting the day

it will find its wings

in an open sky.

But she feared it had strings,

keeping her dreams at bay.

Looking into the sunset,

she contemplates the will of her dreams.

Should she stop dreaming and forget?

It feels as though they’ll never happen.

Could they ever come to be?

She watches as the sun sinks still.

While a beaut to see,

her hope of her dreams’ flight

was sinking more each day.

Peering into the setting sun,

she ponders if her heart had a say…

would she listen to it?

Would she allow it to take flight?

Looking into herself,

her faith grew might.

Allowing her dreams’ wings to soar,

gazing out at the horizon where her dreams met

her faith once again…

she dares to look into her own sunset.

We must seek places of happiness and we must have a peaceful heart dear Melinda..
"Allowing her dreams’ wings to soar,
gazing out at the horizon where her dreams met
her faith once again…
she dares to look into her own sunset."

I heard someone once say that we might be afraid of going after our dreams because might succeed, and perhaps we or more afraid of success than failure.

Never lose sight of your dreams. They are what keep us going. We all need them to ride the challenges that life throws at us. Hang on to them at all cost. Lovely poetic expression here Melinda.
