Time To Chase The Dreams Poem by Mark Hopwood

I know my dreams but they're out of my reach
The ship of hope has washed up onto the beach
I can feel my oceans slowly turning to sand
I try to hold on but they slip through my hand.

I wish I could feel what i need to go on
But how can I feel when I've always been gone
I lack motivation, Hope and a chance
Sometimes dreams pass me and I catch a quick glance.

I've got to start moving, can today be the day?
I need to pick a direction but don't know which way
I sense my dreams are waiting for me
The chase begins, I'll catch 'em and be free,
Can I catch them,
I'll have to chase and see.

So please help me get the confidence I need
My soul is tangled but it can be freed
So point the way, tell me what I'm doing wrong
I haven't a clue but I know I need to belong
I'm weak but I can become strong.

So now is the time to chase the dreams
Now its time to let go of the screams
It never rains But it always will pour,
the water might help get this ship of the shore.
Somewhere over a rainbow
Way up high in the shining sky
There's a dream I remember,
Once, in my minds eye.
