Chasing A Dream Poem by shimon weinroth

expectations delicious and juicy
revelations not always sweet,

on bicycle or on horseback
roller-coastering or skating,
swimming in the sea, sailing
on the ocean,

walking down the mountain
strolling under trees
dreams free of all the fetters,

whims and wishes fly about
at rest, an entity of no doubt
neither loyal nor devout

a bag full of wishes
a sack full of promises
to come about,

if snuffed out and buried
rise up again and again,
entice and beckon
ride on the magic carpet

hang on the cliffs of hope,
all the ifs are washed away,
cast aside by the tinniest
of dreams,

ruled by wishes we are renewed
to face what is true and untrue
in the world of dreams,
music plays upon my mind

sleeps with my soul
revives my spirit
at the fountain of voices,
rainbows sing and dance
