These dreams are so deeply
mired in the shade
of unfilled needs and impossible desires
as I reach for the golden-plated brass ring
that dissipates before it can be grasped with a hand
lined with heartaches deeply etched,
and the futility of it all
carousals fleetly around my head.

In hopeless dismay I try to touch impossibilities
while standing in the still
shadows of time’s back flowing thoughts stream
far from the source of an ancient fountainhead
wells deep dreams,
encapsulated nothing of being.

How elusive they are, these shadowy shades
as they carve out an existence that flit with dark wings
to beat to and fro—
in darkness with these endless dream
shadows of mine,  I weep.
