Grow

A dream can grow in the darkest places, even when others lay shattered and dead, no matter how long and twisted the roots, dreams can still grow when tears are shed. It will flower out of the muddy ground, no matter how impossible it may seem, and vine and wind around the stoney paths, as it flourishes to chase the sunbeam. A dream can grow from almost anywhere, stunted only by what imagination can feed, the vision becomes planted deep in the mind, and will live when your heart is the seed.

Hi Kelly. I believe we must have dreams in order to live. Without them we will eventually fade away. Very well written, my friend, and a pleasure to read..... Robert.

Thank you so much, Robert. I'm glad you enjoyed it... I agree with you, life would become very dull if we did not dream. I know they are one of the things that keep me going.

I especially like the second stanza. I'm 86, but no one grows too old to dream. Hey, that's an old song. Love, daver

Thank you very much, Daver... That's true, we're never too old to dream. It's a shame that people forget that sometimes...

Dreams are essential for all thinking beings, for they are the compiler of life's events and enhance our well beings by sorting out our emotions and letting them play before us so that we may better understand our thoughts, fears, desires and goals in life from a different prospective than what reality may offer.

I appreciate your lovely comments, Emile. Thank you!... Life would become very dull if we didn't have nightmares to scare us and wonderful dreams to inspire us. I know they are one of the things that keep me going :)

Sometimes dreams are miracles waiting to happen. Other times they are nightmares. I have experience the bad ones far too many times myself. Great poem. A7
