In dreams we live

by Chris   Aug 13, 2004


How can a short time last so long
Life with so many questions
a brief surge of days,
a torrent of nights
We try so hard to make our mark,
To say, look, I was here, I was alive
I lived, I breathed, and I died
But I dreamed of so much more

    Hopeful-enough to break the barrenness of silent fear of doubt. We are all one with uncertainty. Which is what makes our successes heaven.

    This was an excellent poem. You put into a few short lines what I would be putting into about a page of writing. The point that comes across to me, is that we want to make a name for ourselves in life, we want to be something so people will notice us. I really liked this poem. Keep writing. ps- thanks for commenting on my poem!
