dreams and realization

So just a disclaimer I specifically wrote this piece for an open at Red Rocks Community college. I think that it turned out great. there is no hidden meaning to it and in no way should it be taken seriously.

Dreams and realization

Cars pass by the window

Sighing I slowly close my eyes

Drifting off to fantasies

Dreams that only I can have

Jumping off a cliff

That feeling of falling into the seat

Jerking awake as another vehicle goes whizzing the other direction

And sighing I slowly close my eyes

Drifting off to fantasies

Dreams that only I can have

Running into an immense battle

An unknown land that I now call home

Waking up to the clang of metal

Cracking my neck in haste to raise my head

Just the bells of a train track warning us to stop

Sighing I slowly close my eyes

Drifting off to fantasies

Dreams that only I can have

Sitting in a park

Playing a guitar I never learn to play

So absorbed in the music

I forget to wake up

Suddenly the trees are in flames around me

The sirens are all over

Where am I?

What are these scraps of metal everywhere?

Why am I on the gurney?

The train shouldn’t it be moving?

The train…

A Success Belongs to Those Who Try

I miss the man who reads a story
I can't find a way to meet the woman who sings
I am too nervous to find the playwright

I cannot fear who I do not know
And I cannot greet the stranger who shy's away

I wish to live
And be the friend, the model, and the student,
Maybe even the teacher

To sit in a dark room
It does not suit the lively men, women, and children

Go out into the world
Be the success you dream of being

You cannot experience
What you don't chase after
And you cannot see
What you let hide from your eyes, mind, and soul

So ask the man desired to be
And find the success meant to be achieved
Find your dreams
Grasp them and don't let go

Don't release the running goal
It will try to escape you
Or it will give in and embrace you

Give yourself chances
And let others chance a her to himself
or a goddess to her own lively heart

what will begin
Will not necessarily relate to what end comes about
