Change

Change

We dream of
better days
a thousand ways
for a thousand days

We desire to
to get lost
in a million dreams
no matter the cost
it's like we must
shape our actions
to cause opposite
reactions

Change is hard to come
dreams will not suffice
are we ready to pay the price?
We can always burn
in the fire of desire
let's just build a pyre
from our dreams
and enjoy the warmth
until it lasts

I'm ready to awaken
and be misunderstood
until I'm taken
where I should
have been
I've just seen
change is eternal

A delicate " tour de force ", that speaks to being passionate to our dreams for the sake of influencing life's inevitable changes. Desire { for whatever it is worth } the rudimentary element, comes to the forefront in your poem. Multumesc.
