Longing for closure

sweet tender words may suffice
dreams have a life of their own
only actions go the distance

Hello Line, I love how you progress from words to dreams to actions, showing the hierarchy of what actually creates lasting impact. The middle line "dreams have a life of their own" is so beautifully phrased and captures something about how our aspirations exist in their own realm until we act on them. Excellent! Blessings, Line, Daniel
