Andrea Dietrich Poet Prose Poetry

Fate-Dreaming, Dream-Waiting

In my youth, sometimes walking down the street, I daydreamed,
fantasizing  all the thrills fate had in store for me.
Reveries of romance became reality for such unbelievably short time
at last I tossed those foolish daydreams to the side!

What good were they? It seems to me, we’re dealt
fate’s hand, whatever it may be. Now as I grow older (wiser?)
I know where wishful thinking gets me. Old reveries have died.
I wonder now if it’s too late to wait again for fate to realize new dreams!

Faraz Ajmal July 19, 2018 at 2:34 PM I really enjoyed reading your wonderful poem and especially the message behind it, you see that being a child I saw some perfect dreams, a perfect life, with a perfect job, but since I am growing older, I can see that dreams fading away, with each and every day, no matter I much I tried, the difficult thing is not to see dreams, but to fulfill them and what more difficult is when your dream is broken, then seeing a new dream anyway many congratulations on your win in the contest , good luck

Robert Johnson July 12, 2018 at 5:17 PM I can't help but have this make me think that it is important to know when you are actually living parts of your dreams. Those little God winks so to speak. :) Have a nice day living in the present. :) Andrea Dietrich July 13, 2018 at 7:03 PM Yes, Robert, there is indeed something on my horizon and I am waiting for it to come to fruition!

Harry Horsman July 4, 2018 at 11:00 AM Oh love this looking into your day dreams, your poetry Andrea, does seem to bring one closer, in that, different culture,country, so many poets on here, with the same outlook towards life, and having lived it...All in all your poems speak so many languages, yet the same theme. there would be no wars, if everyone listened. Robert Johnson July 12, 2018 at 5:18 PM Yes he does Andrea. Good on ya Harry. :) Andrea Dietrich July 5, 2018 at 3:21 PM You always say the loveliest things.

Matthew Anish July 4, 2018 at 8:46 AM Reveries can lead to realities. It is never too late to dream. I am on the mend. Thanks for your concern! Peace & Love Matthew Anish

Arturo Michael July 3, 2018 at 10:56 PM It's wonderful... You ask these questions... Many ask today...just because things didn't work their way... I still believe one should never give up... All the best Andrea... Nice to read you

Chris Hagy July 3, 2018 at 4:25 PM I love this Andrea :)...I can surely relate!...although my dreams when I was young were to be on stage, and to have a horse who would come to my call...had those come and go already...time for new dreams as you say so well here! Nothing new for me, just visiting today...have a good one :)
