Following Dreams

wrapped around ceramic dreams
I never knew would show
to afraid to break the mold
of what I’ve come to know
sifting darkness into dust
to find a ray of light
echoes shatter silence
in the middle of this night
i picture memories in my mind
as if these thoughts were true
where once forgotten snapshots
are images of you
standing in the background
is a painting focus clear
a mural lit with sunlight
of what I wish were near
i’ll hold on to this treasure
of what might come to be
in a season not so far away
where I can set it free

This reminds me of many of the memories I have of one person...dreams gone to the past. But your imagery is very poignant and beautifully crafted. One question...In line 3, don't you mean "too afraid to break the mold"?
