Thinking of things
To wish on shooting stars
Remember the dreams
That will never be our's
Gripping the truth
In the palm of my hand
Starting to crumble
And falling like sand
Drawing the bow
That catches the strings
A perfect melody
Of love and kings
Turning the light
To illuminate the dark
Striking the match
To send off the sparks
Swimming through thoughts
In an endless sea
A sense of direction
To where you would be
Drawing the sword
A blade of shining steel
Made of the fairytales
That will never be real
Acting the part
And taking the stage
Writing the book
And turning the page
Author notes
Again, the first line was drawn from a status message on myspace. I guess I think of clever things on there. xD By the way, there's a hidden word that I think only one person would find. (That would be you, Nicole)
Jan 19, 2009: Despite what has been said in comments below, this just happens to be one of my favorites. "Drawing of breath is long overdue" Psh. My style of writing. Just like one of those books that keeps you on your toes right to the very end. That's what I wanted, and it's what I intended. Anyway, before I go onto the same rant...
It is really hard to describe this one. A sense of hope, but also a deep feeling of losing what you hold closest to your heart.

This was awesome - so proufound, and straight from the heart, andi love poems like this on dreams
thanks for entering! -
A gamble of a ramble.
By the time one gets to drawing the sword,
the drawing of breath is long overdue,
punctuation is designed for a purpose,
and not there for you to eschew.

This reminded me very much of Shakespeare, it also brought to mind that time pulls us all forward. Great write. -

This was absolutely fantastic. It flowed wonderfully. I love the ending,
"Acting the part
And taking the stage
Writing the book
And turning the page."
The only thing I would suggest is adding some punctuation. But otherwise, great job.
