The dial of time turns slowly round
like the abandoned turn again
to face the world of men
as warriors and labourers,
peacemakers, lovers, friends,
and stand upon a pedestal
as beautiful dream makers.

It's always the abandoned
that must carve a better end
and create the new improved
to overlay the old.

And the abandoned dream
of the better and the best
and thereby expunge
the, oh, so plaintiff cries
of the now ill-fated.

Dream on, I say, like I do
for all dreams are fashioned, made,
to set down grooves and channels
for the holding and directing
of life-force energies.

And who's the fairest of them all,
the seedy, sleazy, strings
of the same old, same old,
or the boundless potential
of the forever beautiful
dream makers of the world?

Please pardon me for saying so, but this is a beautiful exposition on God and Mammon. Very intuitive. Thank you!

Dreams are for real
Life you must peel
Down to its zeal
It's a big deal

Beautifully expressed. Once again, I stand in awe.

Thanks everyone for your comments - and Andrew, I'm just "honouring" life and all it's many experiences and I guess I have to feel them to be able to express them. Not perhaps what I would wish for myself.

Dreams are the foundation of reality.

To abandon them is like stopping evolution.

Your exquisite words reflect your beautiful mind, dear Helen.

Love,

Love it Helen.
Yep dreams are the glue of the future. The reason for moving forward with hope.

Thoroughly enjoyable read.

From one dreamer to another I think this is one of your best ever.
