The Shadow Of A Dream Poem by Tim Vallie

awaken, clinging to the remnants of a story
Concocted by my unconscious dreaming mind
I remember bits and pieces of it’s quickly fading glory
But to each piece I’m slowly going blind
It fades now ever faster into the realm of the forgotten
It falls into the valley of the lost
Quickly all it’s sweetness becomes ever so rotten
Swiftly all it’s firelight turns to frost
But still I cling so tightly
It makes me want to scream
As I relive the frustration nightly
Always clinging to the shadow of a dream
