dreams – Page 6 – Picking Up Roots

Dream Chaser

why fear
the blood of your labors
when you work towards your dreams;
what can hurt you there?

opinion is a stiff headwind
crashing against a rock
of your construction -

you have chased the dream,
you have journeyed,
you have bled;

the words of others
cannot harm the pursuit;
we must dream

we must chase what we believe,
no matter the headwinds,
we must live

Forgotten Dreams

what of these dreams
lying in the shadows
of our lives -
cast aside -
were they judged unworthy
of achievement
or did we lack the courage
to realize them

can we face
the hard truth

Wanting Dreams

I want that deep blue-green
of oceanside that feeds my soul,
and the smell of the salt
that rides the wind;
I want the soothing calm of the waves
lapping upon the rocks,
and the music of the birds
at the break of day;
I want the stillness of the night 
echoing across the bay,
and that feeling of place,
that I've come home
              do I want too much
              what is life without dreams
