Avenue of Dreams
Each night I walk this avenue with ever changing themes
Fast moving scenes, the Avenue of Dreams.
There's confusion, distortion and sometimes fear.
Inspiration can also be found here!
Wisdom from the inner self wanders into the light.
A secret mentor who helps us to face our fight.
Like shadows, insecurities lurk in the background.
As symbols, they allow themselves to be found.
Here I meet characters, some anonymous, some known.
One day I could make my dreams a fiction of my own!
This avenue can make me superior, powerful, strong.
Or often it will make me weak and sometimes wrong.
After travels down this avenue, I'm tired during waking days.
But I'd like this avenue of dreams to remain always.
