Only Dreamers Achieve The Goal Poem by Walter W. Safar

Only Dreamers Achieve The Goal

Rating: 5.0


When dreams guide you,
The falling star shall be your faithful companion on the path of dreams,
To discover new horizons in the infinity of the universe,
In the infinity of human subconscience;

Cowards cave in,
The hesitant give up,
The despondent don't believe,
Only those who believe in love achieve the goal,
Only dreamers achieve the goal;

When the drums of war echo around the world,
When angelic music of love is overpowered by hate's thunder,
Find your shield in the light of the soul,
And, in your heart,
Find the general you will serve until death.

When memories crash against the cliff of life,
In thousands of droplets you shall find your tear
While the wind spreads them along the valleys of your childhood,
Because tears of man nature are equally salty and taste the same.

When your love escapes the demonic fires of hatred,
When your conscience strays in the thick forest of passion,
When you look for your lost self in the angelic voice of Jackie Evancho,
- because in solitude's embrace we're all Danny Boy -
When you look for your waymark in shining gold
Instead of the turquoise starlight,
When you follow the wind along seas, mountains, valleys and deserts,
When you carry your hopes like a heavy cross
To the north, south, east and west,
When you search distant lands for your lost dreams,
Know that you will never reach the goal
If you lost your love,
Because all roads lead lead to your heart.

A most heart-warming poem and I love the reference to Danny Boy, one of my very favourite songs. You know they sang it at several funerals of those brave New York fire fighters who lost their lives in 9/11. Words have the power to heal if we use them wisely. Well done.
