What Happened to my Dream?

rrodriguez

What happened to my dream?

Did it dry up like a cloud in the wind?

Or swelled like a river—

And then lost its flow?

Did it turn to rocks & stones?

Or dried up without rain—

Like the desert dry bones?

Maybe it just waits…

Like a marathon runner

To reach the finish line.

    Is this in ernest or tongue in cheek? All around us is the beautiful world. It's there for us all if we can see it. But we have to believe there is something worth seeing to appreciate it.
