Forgotten Dreams

In a silent world of forgotten dreams, Where disappointments and heartaches lie. A world where hopes and dreams have died And bid their last goodbye. In a deserted land of times gone by, Where once we used to tread. Like autumn's leaves from summer's dreams Lay abandoned, cold and dead. Those winter chills of unfulfilled dreams Linger on the ground. The warmth and glow have left my life Now that you're no longer around. In a silent world of forgotten dreams, A place we failed to breech. I look towards the star we wished upon But sadly failed to reach. John Read.

Excellent, John, and a great bit more meaning than our silly penguin/polar bear fun.
