These Distant Dreams

Saxon Crow



These distant dreams that come and go

They always pull me through

Those treasured highs hidden in the lows

Make it all worth while again and again

Because this world we are living in

Tries to pull us down

This world it tries to break us sometimes 

But my dreams are stronger than the grief and pain 

And hope always shines through the bitterness and shame

Who are we but a shadow of an echo of an unconscious memory of who we were 

Waiting to break free, patiently, silently, gently

And all this, all of this is no more than the rusting chains of distraction binding us in uncertainty

And though my dreams they come and go they always return

And when they do, 

Within those moments I am no longer falling but flying free

    "the rusting chains of distraction"... a line to die for.

    May there be more treasured highs than lows throughout for you sax.

      The life of a poet. Faith in the return of a muse.

        Fantastic set of reasons why we need to keep dreaming dear Sax - this is a gem and goes into my favourites.

          "Who are we but a shadow of an echo of an unconscious memory of who we were"
          That's a brilliant line in a amazing poem Sax. Really love this one. Very, very relatable.
