Failing Dreams

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
