Dream Big

Why not the dreams of castled kings 
          With rubied thrones and emerald rings  
If treasures of a certain greed
                    Would satisfy your aching need 

Or corporations far and wide
                          With CEO’s all by your side
What you could do would still amaze
                    If power sets your heart ablaze

Perhaps, a superficial win
                    The velvet touch of supple skin
To sensitize a brush of whim
                     Against an eager, waiting limb

Dream big or why to dream at all
      Your dreams could still then be too small
Yet, think before a granted plea
                  Before a Genie’s one, two, three

Why not the dreams of one who’s poor
                 Whose vision would be to assure
That hunger in our world would end
       With just these very words, I’ve penned

But dreams are dreams and truth is truth
             And though there really is no proof
I still believe they can come true
                         As surely as the sky is blue

I do too, Mike. The more the dream begins with Love for ourselves and for our fellowman to more likely it will come true. Conceive, believe, and achieve. That middle one is the key! Blessings my friend and thank you for sharing your meaningful poetry with us. A FAV for my list! Bill

Perchance to dream as quoted by Hamlet. But sometimes dreams are a stepping stone to greater endeavours. Great arguments.

To not believe in our dreams would be a terrible lack of faith in the hope that they will come true. Mike, your skill of writing gives all hope that that they can. You write such positive poetic verses that I always feel helped and honored to read you.

I won't be bullied by the hypocrite Lin:-( Shame he doesnt take more time reading his bible and acting on it rather than preaching in soup

Jan, you write real poetry and anyone who hasn’t read your serious verses would recognize that if they weren’t blinded by their prejudice.
