A Dream
What is a dream, can it be a reality,
Can it something we reach for,
Perhaps someone small and beautiful,
Can it be someone we grow to adore.
What is the potential for each to love?
This question keeps me wondering why
Like a star in the sky, so high, unreachable,
Surpassing beauty, shining in the night
Saying let me go, I cannot be attainable.
Yet against all odds, I fear for what is right
Does it first storm, and then it rains,
Or first it rains and then the storm remains?
If first we dream and then we try,
Then to truth, we are released to understand why.
For in trying, we can achieve our reality,
Though things are and some things are never meant to be.
A Roses’ sweet smell can be a lasting memory
Life is full of things for us to dream
Though, not every dream may become reality,
If not first noted in a dream,
How then can reality become,
How can this be?

At times just wonder about the connection between love and the stars, reality and dreams, and these lyrics came to mind.
