Of dreams

If you hold a dream. 

Just there. 

Out of reach. 

And you stroke your fingers 

Tantalisingly 

Without reaching it

 

It’s a wisp. 

A cloud 

A vapour 

That’s always. 

 

Just there. 

Out of reach.

 

If you have a dream. 

And it fades 

Like the moon

In the morning. 

You reach and 

Hold nothing.

 

If you have a dream. 

Inside your mind 

It is nothing

Just a thought

A feeling 

In a cloud 

 

Just there 

Out of reach.

 

To give you a hope 

A desire 

A guide 

A possibility 

Or maybe just a 

Flicker 

 

Of what could have been. 

What isn’t now. 

Can never be. 

An unrealistic fantasy

 

It teases your mind

And entraps you

Enslaves you. 

Disappoints and 

Accuses you. 

 

A gentle 

Delightful 

Dream 

That’s always 

Just there 

 

Out of reach.
