O To Dream

O to pursue, wish, and to dream
Not for selfish ambition, power, or self-esteem
Nor the pursuit of superficial means

Yet strive for knowledge; seek the truth
Wisdom provides cerebral clarity and cerebral youth

Internal wealth; not visual, nor clear
However; virtue, tranquility, love, and hope, o so dear

Stress, anxiety, fear, the loss of personal control
Robs one of life’s greatest attributes
That which genuinely makes us whole

So reflect on the self
Uninhibited, stay strong
Fight for what’s right
Letting go of all perceived wrong

Identify the good life, well-being, stay true
O to dream
Dream; indeed do
