In the Fragility of Dreams
Life is so vast, a million pages is its book
selecting all its best recipes for just one cook.
It’s difficult, the view is impossible, the first attempt urges a switch
the demands of this wish create holes unable to be stitched.
The distance between now and the goal is a sea of sacrifice
“you can achieve anything’ is one out of many more lies.
Hard work should make the contestant also the referee in reality’s sport
why won’t fantasy acquire some power to manage reward’s port?
In the middle class, but owns a gold plated ring,
is a reasonable step towards becoming a modern king.
From the minister’s carpenter to the president’s boss is the magic
on wages less than an Orphan’s budget is ultimately tragic.
Sustaining weeks of traveling has an achievable means
even if what is planned for is only a kilogram of beans.
Desperately wanting a thing beyond the length of hands
puts imagination way above all rock bands.
To dream and to believe are not enough to create the symphony
already half way the delicious meal, what is chewed still feels bony.
Thinking big is as powerful as fast flowing streams
reality rudely beckons in the fragility of dreams.
