When a dream dies the world is not the same you realize in an instant that everything has changed tomorrow will be different the plans will all be new for the dream that you were chasing no longer lives inside of you
to know the race is over and you’ve been left behind is like a snowflake in the summer like a star that will not shine
it’s like crying in an ocean when nobody else is near everything becomes a whisper that no one else will hear
it’s a moving toward acceptance of the things you cannot see of the things you cannot do and the thing that will not be
it happens to the best of us we all must face the day the dream we had for many years has simply gone away
but in the shattered dreams there are pieces we can find
to plant as seeds for future things until the end of time
so when a dream is over another one will be
for one dream dies and one is born
to give new life to me ---march 2006 spf
