Listen! there is peace
Setting in the wake of unrest
Which cost me the loss
Of all those dreams
That were in progress-
But they were drifting
Farther out to the sea
And each day,
I saw less of reality...
I abandoned those dreams
But I stayed afloat
While the water of hope
Took no opposition
To the rocking waves
And I learned the pleasure
Of letting go
The struggle for control,
As result,
I was free to move...
I thought I saw those dreams
Floating back to me once again,
As if to say, simply,
They would leave their way
With or without me-
But they would still exist
Because I gave them
Substance and life
All of their own!

Nice 1 sir, it really a great work of the subconsious
I thought I saw those dreams Floating back to me once again, Very poignant and substantial elements flowing well with poetic imageries Sir..

love this one Romeo. Some times we are forced to let dreams go. Face the hard reality. But holding on pays off, for there is tomorrow. Full of hope.
