:: dream ::

you never dreamt of being here

you never knew you could make it

you just remembered all those dreams that took you away

to places where no one could see

nor would they ever understand.

time flies by

and all you can do now

is sit and reflect.

maybe you're feeling content

overwhelmed with joy

of the much you have acomplished

of the more you've reached out and touched.

but sometimes i regret

of not holding on tighter

of allowing situations to run beyond their course

to push me further, closer, to the edge.

closer to giving it up.

still, i choose to sit and search deeper

to look with eyes of a newborn child

to breathe with that first breath

and to smile for no apparent reason.

i choose to not need to understand

i choose to spread my arms wide open

i choose to open these clenched fists

i choose to let myself dream once again.

they say dreams don't matter.

they say dreams make you desire for the inevitable.

but He dreamt of me

and that's the reality

the reason i am here.
