Maybe Someday

This is a poem about letting things pass you by. For whatever reason(s) that may be. Life, dreams, life’s dreams pass us by because of our decisions, because of our laziness, because of our lack of focus, because of time, because of circumstances, because...just because.

But this poem is also about hope. Just because we are where we are in life doesn’t mean that we can’t still rekindle the flames to said dreams and plans. I know in my case, it’s not going to be easy to live my dreams out...but it’s still possible. This I know. My dreams may be dormant, for now, but they aren’t dead. And as worried as I can sometimes be about the future, I know something is burning inside of me. There is something that needs to be released, there is a dream waiting to be let out.

This is a poem that needs to be shared. It needs to be shared with others who feel this way. It’s a poem that needs to be shared with friends. Or, a friend.



Maybe Someday

It haunts me
what’s passed by
a life wasted
before I awoke
visions not seen
a soul not free
but in my mind
my dreams run fort
and in my heart
they never tire
the sun sets slowly
my dreams start to wake
someday maybe
my dreams to live
maybe someday

It chases me
what awaits today
another day lost
before it begins
dreams lay dormant
the sun not to see
but in my mind
my dreams run wild
and in my heart
they never sleep
the sun rises slowly
my dreams still alive
someday maybe
my dreams to live
maybe someday

It leads me
what calls my soul
a new day dawning
my eyes not shut
my future to find
a life to live
but in my mind
my dreams are shared
and in my heart
they never die
the sun shines brightly
my dreams now reality
someday maybe
my dreams to live
maybe someday

I love this. I pray your dreams become reality in your life sooner than later. It's amazing how vividly we are given some dreams and then we give up on them so quickly when they don't come to fruition right away.

I will be passing on...:)
