Powder Puff Dreams

Poof!
Disintegrated
Shattered expectations
Should have known
The clues were there
High hopes
All up in smoke
Exploding in thin air
Powder puff dreams

Says much more than what is written! With each line speaks louder. The haunting “the clues were there”

Powder puff dreams. What a great way to show how fast they can dissolve, disintegrate or float precariously away.
