Death of a Dream


Time
  existence
      goes by
          *long drawn out sigh*

gray transforming

overbearing
    the happy
        once joyful
            exuberant bright cheerful eclectic

becoming shadows
misty vapor
                  rising to the sky
                  fleeting...
                              gone.

Days gone by
    weeks
        and
          months
            and
              years

                          motions of life
                          crowd out
                          emotions of life 


                                        This unrecognized yet all too familiar place...

                                                    This is where dreams are born.
                                                    This is where dreams die.

Spark of light
    soft golden
struggles against
    darkened mire

hope's ashes
      faith's grief
          love's despondence

Marigold hue
        charred
              sphere of night envelopes

Streaks and smudges
          of pride
              vanity
              selfishness
              cruelty
                      deface life's canvas
                        once glowing brilliant
                            -- now torn and tainted.


                                          This unrecognized yet all too familiar place...

                                                    This is where dreams are born.
                                                    This is where dreams die.
Silence...
    utter chaos...
        sheer madness
              consuming life -

they don't know.

They don't care.

They go about
    *busily*
          trading dreams
              spiritual riches
                for material fantasies
                    built with air.

Colorless
    consumes the bright

one small spark
        daring dream
              chasing burgeoning shadows

until exhausted
          extinguished...
                      no more.


                                            This unrecognized yet all too familiar place...

                                                    This is where dreams are born.
                                                    This is where dreams die.

Cherish the ordinary days, for they are the extraordinary days. -- me
