dreams – Page 4 – Picking Up Roots

Beginnings

a struggle to begin,
a question
of where to start;

where is the world,
start there

the place is not ideal

begin there anyway,
meet the world
where it is,

the search for the perfect time and place
will lead to a lifetime
of empty dreams

Dreamer

I have experienced
one thousand deaths,
I will live through
one thousand more,
dreams
fallen by the wayside -
not deemed worthy
of nurture
by an unquiet mind -
are the great casualties of this life;

though they may be rekindled
reborn, again and again,
such are the wanderings
of the mind
of the hopeless dreamer

Destiny

a new day breaks,
another new beginning;
will we alter course - 
change our method -
or continue
on the same track,
frustrated we have not changed -
not grown into our dreams -
we are the keepers
of our own destiny
