As I Dream



Jumping shadows and shifting visions plague my mind.
I see a glimpse of hope.
Aspirations, goals, and fears! The thoughts I hide from judgmental eyes
Ignored and forgotten.

Why have I shunned my desires?
Leaving them in such dark and dreary corners?
I lift them out dust covered spider webs
Reminded of the luster and brilliance that once was me.
I once was a dreamer.            

I sought blue skies
Sparkling oceans
Big cities
Flashing lights.
They were good dreams, I missed them.

I don’t remember when I misplaced my dreams but now that I’ve found them
I see this new spark of hope that I just want to show the world!
Clasping them tight, like precious jewels I finally awake,
Determined to make dreams of my reality.
