William J. Jr. Atfield Poet Rhyme

Dreams Now Extinct 4 Once the Fashioner of the Future

Dreams now extinct – 4
Once the fashioner of the future

Dreams that once built castles – from dream dust – in the skies.
Becoming the stuff reality fashioned for our adventurous eyes.
Dreams that once took us on glorious journeys, in flight,
upon the wings of our own design – that was such a sight.

Dreams of a psychic nature gave cause for, reflection
guiding one to a path, in order to take that right direction.
Dreams have become extinct now – they have all gone.
There are none left, – what went wrong ? – to carry on.

Life has happened !!!, that is all.
And now, and in age – in the fall,
before winters cold cruel winds call -
life that was lived, is all I am able to recall.

Others were not blessed with more time and the right faculty to do that...Always a pleasure to read your reflections, sire. Hugs and smiles from the land of bright sunshine and thousand isles :D Kim
