Somewhere deep inside us resides our graveyard of dreams
Of abandoned hope, crushed expectations and other themes
Stillness reigns, as in a bottomless void, but naught is dead
Deep in sleep, biding their time, just waiting to be led
Back into consciousness, back into the light
To be released from this everlasting night
To once again fill our heart and mind
Let us see even though we had been blind
Show us there can be another way
A beautiful life full of joy and play
It is so simple, since all we have to do
Is truly look inside and start anew

Wonderful poem. Really hopeful and comforting actually, despite the title. All is not lost. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Clara,
Over a lifetime so many dreams and aspirations are put aside. But they never die. Hopefully one day.....
Your pen is as sharp as ever - great read Fred.
You are right, I write with sharpies! Thanks Michael!
Totally agree Fred. Never stop dreaming. Every day is a new beginning. A beautiful beginning. Let’s look at life with the eyes of a child that got an unexpected gift. Love your poem. Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you for your comment! No matter how old, there is still much to do, much to learn.
Tell me about. I have a fire burning inside my heart and need to remind me everyday to calm down and just enjoy life as it is. Just smell the flowers. No need to plant a new garden.
A whole garden would be too much. Remember how to eat an elephant: One bite at a time.
Lol 😂
Those last two lines say it all, joy is within us, show it to all.
A fine write Fred.
A great read Fred, with a great message!
