Dreams Poem by Daleen Enslinstrydom

Dreams are like yesterday
and in the night they had all faded away
while all that remain is heartache and pain
and it’s like winds that blow back
the sand of yesterday
but still through it all
my love for you is strong
like a rope that bind us together.

If I could hold onto my dreams
I would have planned my life around them
but dreams belong to yesterday
and yesterday is gone
and all that remain is heartache and pain.

I Look within myself and are stripped
from pretences and everything that matters.
What I see breaks my heart
as there is only emptiness
and its winter in me and winter outside
and I wonder about the coming spring
as now my dreams are but tears
and flowers and blossoms
do come after the rain
and to me yesterday is but a dream
and I cling unto the hope
that tomorrow may bring a new time of spring.
