Dreams of Iron

These eyes are looking at me
trying to escape from the claws of pain,
the open hands with the same aim, 
but my white hair is all they can see,
and all they can hear is
my soul, saying, 
"I want to be with my paper taken from a tree",
and when I am with the latter,
all I say is 
"I want to be with my iron dream". 


The dream of blood, of iron
is mine... forever

Forever 
my dream...

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
