Hidden within the dark forest
Of stunted expectations
Dwell the timeless ghosts
Of unfulfilled dreams
Eagerly awaiting to be
Liberated into the sunshine
To shed their cloaks
Of fear and worry
To dance in the rain
Of tears of joy
To surf the waves
Of unlimited opportunity
To be freed
From chains of regret
To finally metamorphose
Into glorious reality

But to do so one must risk it all and come out on top
Thanks SH! You know what they say: No pain no gain. Sometimes we have to go out of our comfort zone, but it is usually worth it.
I know I risked it all tho I didn't come out on top least I found out who my friends where
enjoyed this one
Thank you, w c, glad you enjoyed. Now go and live your dreams!
Good write, those dreams are there and if they are not to what do you aim in life.
Thanks Goldfinch! Yes, the dreams are there, and we have to follow them.
A fine write Fred.
Thank you orchi! I know you were dreaming of KP all the time, and see, your dream came true!!!
Arrghhh, that'll teach me to dream! Ain't no dream now, it's a ghastly fulfilment! heehee.
Love the premise on which this is built - super work Fred
Thanks so much Michael, you got it!!!
Love the writing here good poem Fred !
Thanks so much, WL! Stay warm!!!
"Unfulfilled dreams" ... that phrase triggered one I wrote a while back, Fred. I shall post it tomorrow. You have penned a beauty here, my friend! Kudos.
Thank you Louis! Am looking forward to read yours!!!
Great Poem. The Topics are Nice to live in.
Thank you Michael! For the read and the comment!
Hang Loose My Friend!!! And Hang 10 Out in the Islands...
Hang Loose I can, Hang 10......better not! Hitting 70 this year, so on the beach with a beer in the hand is a much better solution!!! 🙂
Thanks FRED ~ I love the optimism in this philosophical poem ! I have a big list of unfulfilled dreams (at my AGE) but your final doublet assures me that "They will all ~ finally metamorphose ~ into glorious reality ~ AMEN !" Yours BRIAN
Thanks Brian, may all your dreams come true!
Oh my, I am actually crying. I have held myself back for so long yearning to be 'freed from chains of regret'! I would love to 'shed my cloak of fear and worry' Very thought provoking. Beautifully crafted words.
So sorry, Elsie, didn't mean to make you cry! But just think, if you are able to overcome whatever it is that is holding you back, you will feel so much better! Thank you for reading!
Oh don't apologise. It's all good, I need some cathartic words to kick me up the backside ha ha! And I suppose I still haven't properly grieved for my Dad, so it won't take much for the tears to brim over my eyes.
Sorry to hear about your loss! The pain diminishes over time, but there will always be some left in your heart.
