Holy heck! What a metaphor!! This was incredible writing. Wow. This
seemed to speak directly to me .. in a world where dreams and the
dreamers are less and less valued, (except when their dreams come
true), it becomes more and more difficult to function as an artist.

But beauty and all that surrounds it has to, just HAS to be worth it.
And this piece is living proof that art is as essential as air. The last
line delivered such an added sadness .. blends the piece so well.

Excellent write!

Brilliant poem, sometimes dreams are dashed but then you have to go on to your next dream, we need our dreams to go on. xx
