Dreams! NOT FOR SALE!

TITLE: Dreams! NOT FOR SALE!

A decoration for the chasm in my soul, 

I have dreams planted, I play a role. 

This little sapling grew on foreign soil. 

Looking for canyons of valor, 

halting at marshes of malice. 

Under the shades, I still wonder where, 

the lakes, some if they could spare, 

drops of attainable wisdom, 

that would quench my thirst, 

of creating an unforgettable verse. 

I was born when my toes near the cliff, 

inched away with my back stiff. 

For a bird, I wasn't quite free, 

stolen, my wings of curiosity, 

for they were labeled, ‘liability’. 

This tree is still growing on earth, 

bearing fruits to prove its worth. 

To call it a dream, there must be only one, 

time is walking, but it waits for none. 

When the dawn is closer, 

and your eyes go to sleep, 

dream for your heart, 

learn what it seeks.
