Never Put Any Dreams Away
How disheartening and catastrophic a failure can be
seeing all falling apart before teary and frightful eyes
that shun all hope, it would be extremely hard
to rebuild what was lost to ashes, not having survived
brutal storms or any wind scattering them farther
and wider into a wilderness echoing with stark horror;
oh, hear the agony of a despairing heart that cries
seeking some consolation under the barest tree!
Never put dreams away, and wail your defeat;
lay them on golden wings and start their flight,
seek them whenever gloominess fills your darkest skies!
They will sparkle, they will turn into those lovely fireflies!
Enthusiasm can wane along with passion,
and if that happens what are your chances?
Love deeper, give more, and joy will be yours;
leave no unsweet kisses, no untrue smiles, no words unspoken!
Surrender only when certainty reflects reality,
and you can be sure that emotions wouldn't be contradictory!
Never put dreams away and think how foolish is to keep your belief;
the worst you can do is let them slip from your fingers,
here's another change: hold them tighter than jewels:
they will shine and give you the happiness you always dreamed of!
