A Light Ahead
A long time ago,
I was told
to forget the dream,
and for too long
a time,
I let it wither and die.
And as the years slowly
fell away,
I merely drifted
across the bow
of life,
and the arrow never
was fired
into the heart
of a dream
now beating strong
within me.
And those that told me
to let that dream go
finally have opened their eyes
to see the talent
that I keep,
but they tell me
to keep my head
above water
and not so far
into the skies above.
And I understand their worry.
I do not want to remain a ghost,
voiceless to my dream,
and I do not want to get lost
under the weight of the world.
So, somehow, someway,
I walk
a fine line between both,
and I'll still give life
to dreams
still within
now lighting the way ahead.

I was told
to forge
and for too long
a time,
I let it withe
And as the years
