Lost Dreams

I watched
As my dreams
Tumbled and fell

Like a beautiful crystal
Sitting high upon a shelf
I watched them fall
In slow motion
As they went
Tumbling, tumbling, tumbling down
In what seemed like
... Forever 

Until 
Like a giant drop of water
Falling into a lake
In flawless synchronicity
I watched the sides
Rise up
In a perfect circle
Reaching all about

I watched
As my dreams splashed
All around the room
Covering the walls 
And everything about
With 
Lost hope
Lost expectations
Lost wishes

And yes…
Most of all…

Lost dreams
