Failing Dreams
(Tom Entrican 9/20/18)
Is there a way to sort the dreams
To shake the good from useless things
I lie awake with hopeful heart
Then wake and find it torn apart
Should I just wipe it from my mind
Hope to forget it all in time
Now should I stay not leave in haste
Or is it an anchor ‘round my waist
Am I a fool to still hold tight
To fleeting dreams that haunt my nights
Should I abandon all that’s there
And live a life of I don’t care
Could someone swoop down in the night
Replace the darkness with some light
Or should I just give up those things
That keep appearing in my dreams
Why should I cling to all the loss
Chase broken dreams at any cost
I sweep the pieces with a broom
Lock all those dreams outside my room
But as it does the sun will rise
As I face life through weary eyes
And foolishly repeat the scene
A chance again to live a dream
