Condensed hope

sorenbarrett

On wings of steam an evaporated dream in a rusty kettle will not settle
Cooling vapor, in drops taper corroding a heart of metal
Truth in, a chameleon skin fades in pillow down
With egg shell gloves rescue delusion's love, smell under a clown crown

    when impossible to grasp, it may not even be worth trying ..

    • sorenbarrett

      Indeed this write is as cryptic as steam and I left it such you have grasped it. Dreams are just as difficult to grasp and understand only feel their effect

      I loved it! Although completely unrelated, the poem reminded me of the song "The Impossible Dream." The correlation process inside our minds seems to work in a funny way.
