Dreaming

Dare to be different
Dare to confront your fears
Dare to think the box outside
Dare not to conform to the norm
Dare to put on your thinking cap
In the midst of thoughtless and thinking-less
People who will rather be religiously
Dogmatic to fables and hearsay
Dare to cross the ocean of limitation
Weaving webs of fallacies embedded in rote
Whose only aim is to reduce you to themselves


Dare to rise up
A giant you are within,stay dwarf don’t
Fan the embers of the flame of your
Imagination
Create nations with your notions
Unstoppable are they who dared to dream
In your dreams are endless realm of possibilities
Impossibilities and difficulties are for those
Who thinking is a labour too heavy to perform
Shake yourself from the shackles
There no chain strong enough to hold you
Because if you refuse to abide
Then you will abound in leaps and bound


I dare to dream differently
I dare to work differently
I dare to persevere differently
In my daring lies my success
In my daring lies my fulfilment
In my daring is my living

Very poetic, Isaacola,,,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-
