Unfulfilled Dreams

FredPeyer

Hidden within the dark forest

Of stunted expectations

Dwell the timeless ghosts

Of unfulfilled dreams

 

Eagerly awaiting to be

Liberated into the sunshine

To shed their cloaks

Of fear and worry

 

To dance in the rain

Of tears of joy

To surf the waves

Of unlimited opportunity

 

To be freed

From chains of regret

To finally metamorphose

Into glorious reality

    But to do so one must risk it all and come out on top

    • FredPeyer

      Thanks SH! You know what they say: No pain no gain. Sometimes we have to go out of our comfort zone, but it is usually worth it.

                    "Unfulfilled dreams" ... that phrase triggered one I wrote a while back, Fred. I shall post it tomorrow. You have penned a beauty here, my friend! Kudos.

                          Thanks FRED ~ I love the optimism in this philosophical poem ! I have a big list of unfulfilled dreams (at my AGE) but your final doublet assures me that "They will all ~ finally metamorphose ~ into glorious reality ~ AMEN !" Yours BRIAN

                          • FredPeyer

                            Thanks Brian, may all your dreams come true!

                          • Elsie

                            Oh my, I am actually crying. I have held myself back for so long yearning to be 'freed from chains of regret'! I would love to 'shed my cloak of fear and worry' Very thought provoking. Beautifully crafted words.

                            • FredPeyer

                              So sorry, Elsie, didn't mean to make you cry! But just think, if you are able to overcome whatever it is that is holding you back, you will feel so much better! Thank you for reading!

                              • Elsie

                                Oh don't apologise. It's all good, I need some cathartic words to kick me up the backside ha ha! And I suppose I still haven't properly grieved for my Dad, so it won't take much for the tears to brim over my eyes.
