The Absence Of Dreams Poem by Anita Atina

The absence of dreams

Haunts as much as

Dreams come true


Is he more fortunate

To have dreams unattained

That drive him forward


Or is she the unfortunate one

To have dreams come true

And now a void


Suspends feelings

Grasping for new dreams

And coming up with mist and nothingness


To ask yet again, what is the purpose of this striving

Where does it lead and what does it mean

What is the purpose of life, the reason I am here
