Dreams All faces turned away from me Eyes averted, not wanting to see Little insignificant worm that I am I am a person, I am a man If ignorance is truly bliss Then all the faces show this That they are blissful in their neglect Complacent in what they reject As common as my dreams may be Thay are the goals I've set for me The faces turned do not believe My goals are set there to achieve The eyes, unseeing, think all is lost Yet so many have already weighed the cost A price too high, a cliff too steep Yet all our dreams lay within reach Backs to me, stark and cold But I shout at them, I am bold I refuse to be supressed Put all that i am to the test For if we all were to lose our dreams Would this world be as empty as it seems A cold, dark, barren, wasted land Think the future is in your hands Thomas |

This was a very good poem. Dreams are what makes us, us. Keep them coming, and thanks for responding to my poem "Goodnight Kiss".  Within you I lose myself. Without you I find myself wanting to become lost again. -unkown- |

Your words are so compassionate I don't know what to say! I had to read this poem again! Not because I didn't understand it but I believe that in order to capture the essence of a good poem, one muct go back again to see the truthfulness. Keep posting and I'll keep reading and replying!

This is a wonderful poem, my friend. Yes, this world would be a very dark, and sad place filled with ignorant people if it wasn't for dreams and ambition to chase them with. "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde "The robbed that smiles steals something from the thief" -Shakespea |
