Only the Dreamer Dies

ONLY THE DREAMER DIES…

The arid winds steal
     Our tears.
The sterile dust tease
     Cystic hopes
Of dreams deferred.

At shrines of Lazarus
     Visions
Beckon the faithful
     Silencing
 The wailing discontent:

Only the dreamer dies; the dream
     Lives on.
Only the dreamer dies; the dream 
     Lives on.
