DREAMS FOUND

I had given up,

no longer dreamed

of things

that might be.

A failure

was all I could see.

You came into my life

with encouragement,

gave me confidence

to face my fears,

and dreams to dream,

though some were never

meant to be.

Now one is coming true,

but I can't share

You no longer are part

of my life,

but always remain

in my heart

and dreams.

i liked how you were able to flow that into letting it go...
Damn skippy.

but usually a poem is only a word joined together until it is finished, then you get up from your desk and feel feelings... some diminish... some just stay brightly... like an insomniac's watching tower....

Great Piece
