Dream Clouds
Supernova
Like a supernova the dream burns dangerously bright
Full of vibrancy and life
Like debris it propels you along with its tide
Just before it’s completely destroyed
It shoots you forward
And it takes its own shape
Through fields and valleys
Up to possibilities gate
You’re trying to grasp it
Slow it down as it bursts forth
But its intensity and illumination continue to sprout
The maelstrom gallops fiercely along
It’s a gravity pulling source
Yet don’t be alarmed by its speed or force
It steers and accelerates
An explosion of light
The supernova can’t stop, it won’t stop
Watch out!
……
Rejoice, be glad that the dream found you worthy
Though it’s tenacious and unyielding with no apology
All you have to do is follow along
As the dream and your heart will walk hand in hand
O’er yonder hills into reality land
A Dream Flower
A dream is like a little bud
So, treat it gently and with care
Feed it encouraging words
And water it diligently every day
Treat it like a little child
And then shower it with loads of love
Water it with positive thoughts
Talk to it often and watch it blossom
Strengthen its roots with proper nutrients
And give it the sunlight of faith
Give it plenty air of “I believe”
Because there are so many that will hate
Sometimes a dream may need support
So, give it what it needs
Sometimes it may need a little music
A scaffolding, or a soft pat on its leaf
Dreams like flowers will wilt away
If they’re not treated with love and special care
So, take care of your dreams daily
And watch them grow exponentially
Chase Your Dreams
Chase your dreams, it's never too late
For they have no expiration date
If it lingers in your heart
Please don't, don't procrastinate
Sure, there were a-plenty of tough seasons
But what exactly are your reasons?
Only quitters play the blame game
And everyone's struggle is not the same
Persistence will defeat resistance
So, step away from your reticence
Rejections are just part of the show
You can achieve it you will get it somehow
So, if criticisms and failures are holding you back
Don't make excuses pick up the flack
And the secret to getting it all
Is knowing that you already have it all
Doors
Congrats! You did it
It's your graduation day
And end of another academic year
Your life as an elementary school student has ended
Your goals and dreams you have defended
Excited? You should be
The world is waiting for you
I know you're exhilarated
Perhaps a bit nervous
But the stage is set for your next act
And you'll be glorious
So go boldly through the open door
Think of the worlds you will explore
Set your face towards the sun
And look for unbeaten paths to trot
They say fortune favours the bold amongst us
So be resolute in your every purpose
The first world you'll need to conquer is that of your mind
The second world is the literal and the metaphysical kind
If you place no limits upon yourself
You’ll achieve the unwritten if you are resilient
So go forth my jewels this is your world
Shine bright like a diamond
And be not afraid
The Phantom of a Dream
Does a dream dim with the passing years
And does it lose its appeal?
Is it now a gradient phantom
And does it seem surreal?
Do you want it more or are you no longer sure?
Have you toiled and waited for it for so long
That you are no longer sure what it is you want any more?
Have the accumulated failures got your will in a gridlock?
And have the stream of rejections conquered the battle
in your head?
Tell me!
Have the naysayers been able to cement your doubts?
And alas, is the dream now a mere phantom that prances
and pounce?
A Dream is the Wish of Your Heart
A dream is the wish of your heart
Secret messages sent on angel's wings
Light as a feather and as detailed as geometry
Amid music and crescendos
Heralded by an orchestral sound
Through dreams our inner child whispers its longing to
the sleeping heart
Awaken!
Greet the child and take it by the hand
Listen, oh so reverently!
See the dream in colour
Feel it in your heart
Now, go paint the dream and bring it to life!
Dreamer of Dreams
What are dreams but the whisperings of one’s heart
Traveling through time
The essence of our unconscious mind
Secrets and codes
Living metaphors
Don’t concern yourself too much about deciphering a dream
Translating the various symbols and themes
And making sense of nonsensical scenes
Shadows and imagery, changing sides
Fantasy and fiction
Can you somehow recall
All things will be revealed later in time
Through more dreams or an epiphany…..
Perhaps dreams are not meant to be understood
But some information needs to surface to your conscious state
To relieve you of some of your burdens
Of memories buried deep in the pockets of your mind
That have been weighing you down for a long time
Dreams are messages from above
That are timely sent through the subconscious realm
Write them down if you remember them well
Or toss them to the wind
And skip in merriment
