Dreams

Dark nights, shining lights

Here today, feeling the pain

Seek it, face it, live it

for tomorrow nothings the same

                     What proof, that you ever llived?

                     What proof, that you existed?

                     What words have you left behind?

                     What skill have you perfected?

Quiet world, noisy life

Silent words, loud thoughts

Of what use your achievements?

What of the dreams that came to naught?

                     Dreams, dreams beautiful dreams

                     Did you ever think them through?

                     Did your dreams come alive?

                     In your dreams... do they come true?
