[hometext] => Do you still dream?
[bodytext] => Some, pity the dreamer they say he has his head too high in the clouds Secretly they aspire to be like him, they immitate his style to draw attention to themselves. They scorn his opulance and fame, but at night they pray for his courage. He says what they want to say before they think it. He tries and fails with out being shaken. It is a love hate relationship because of our jealousy. Some hate the dreamer because he never falls in line. He is always marching to a different beat He is always stealing their fame The dreamer is always one step ahead in his ideas He is always one step ahead in his resolution His pursuers try with all their might to do what he does effortlessly Some Aspire to dream They know they are not the dreamer At every opportunity they help the dreamer Their hearts are filled with admiration and friendship They do not mind being second They do not mind being scorned They want to dream and they can learn it from the dreamer I have not said what I have intended I have only shown three sides of a triangle Are you a dreamer? Do you hold on to what you knew at youth Do you soar like the eagle and ride on the tempest of the sea Do your rivals still call you a rebel and do you still scale the mountain of challenge and test your will against the fates Do you still scoff at the world and try to change it and laugh when people tell you that it is impossible Do you still wrestle with your inner person and bend him to your will or have you become the cynic I say to the dreamer, dream. I had rather die dreaming than die an old age with nothing to show for it but empty stories of what i could not do. Dream, stride like the tiger against the world. Pick your target and go after it and when you have failed try again. Take the bull by the horns but not hastily for the bull is strong Dream, overcome the habits of your youth and face life with a brighter future. There is no excuse to not follow your dream There is nothing you can tell me that will make falling in line worth while There is nothing glamerous about the person who gives up his dream except to accomplish a bigger one. Some one once said "Some people look at a problem and they ask why and others look at the same problem and ask why not." I am not the dreamer but I will follow my dream.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
