Life is fleeting, like a passing dream,
we have limited time, it may seem.
We yearn to soar, among the clouds so high,
to touch the sky, where birds freely fly.
To take a dive in the depths of the sea,
to swim with fish in deep water spree.
Yet time slips away, just like sand in our hands,
and these dreams elude, like shifting sands.
How do we chirp and chat with birds Hmm? ,
to share their secrets, learn to sing a hymn,
but life rushes on, at its own rapid pace,
leaving us longing for that avian embrace.
How do we dance with the wind, swirling and twirling,
and feel its gentle touch, so softly unfurling,
but alas, life's constraints confine us so tight,
leaving our souls in between for a long flight.
How do we flourish among flowers, vibrant and grand,
to bask in their beauty, and truly understand.
Yet life's precious moments, they swiftly pass,
Leaving us desiring that eternal, colorful mass.
Life is too short, it's a bittersweet truth,
we can't do it all, despite our fervent pursuit.
So let's cherish the moments, both big and small,
For they define our lives, and make memories that enthrall.

Yes, I agree but you need to have dreams first, I have seen most of them they don't have dreams.
