Every Man Has a Dream

Every Man Has a Dream by Michael R. Burch for Beth Every man has a dream that he cannot quite touch... a dream of contentment, of soft, starlit rain, of a breeze in the evening that, rising again, reminds him of something that cannot have been, and he calls this dream love. And each man has a dream that he fears to let live, for he knows that to hope is to throw away all, so he curses, denies it and locks it within the cells of his heart and he calls it a sin, this madness, this love. But each man in his living falls prey to his dreams, and he struggles, but so he ensures that he falls, and he finds in the end that he cannot deny the hope that he feels or the tears that he cries in the darkness of night for this light he calls love.
