ALLOW DREAMS AGAIN TO LEAD
So much emphasis on what is real
The world in which we live
The here and now
What is due or needs to be done
Where are the dreams
The dreams that capture tomorrow
and give flavor to the adventure
Spread before like a Thanksgiving feast
Do the children still dream?
They no longer play
beyond the tender age of 5 or 6
After that they are all business
Conforming to the world
Which soured grapes create
The crayon colors fade with each passing year
Leaving only hot topic black
To sear
Yes to sear the mind and spirit
with the all consuming gloom
no hope
no future
no dreams
to lead the way to rainbows
and fanciful fields of wildflowers and butterflies
how do we give back to the children
and allow dreams again to lead
